Well.. I got froggy with the dremel..
Wound up with this:
I still need to do a little work to it.. Mainly cut the stock shaft to accept the handle as right now it just spins around.. Either that or a lil' JB Weld.. Although, JB is going to be a we bit permanent..

I'll have to take a better picture of it tomorrow..
I wouldn't recommend anyone do what I did - just yet. I went too far and while I'll be able to make it work, it's going to be rigged. It works fine as far as shifting now, I'm just having trouble securing the **** to the shaft.
If the stock **** had ANY metal in it, I'd be golden. I just went and looked at it with the idea of drilling/taping it to put a set screw in it, but being all plastic - that isn't going to work. Unfortunately, I think JB Weld is going to be in my future..
Wonder what the process to remove the shaft is.. LOL.. It'd be too easy if it would just unscrew so I could put a new one in..

I can't notch it.. If I notch it, the **** will sit too low and will not be able to be put into park..
I have been able to get a temporary fix and it's working very well.. I think I could go a little lower, but I'm not going to mess with it anymore.. It works, the car shifts, I'm happy..
I may pick up one of the WS6Store.com's adapters and see how it looks..

I hated how my T-handle setup looked so I did some modding:

I still have the **** & adapter sitting here for sale
