I did it. Used the B&M shift **** adapter to mount a Hurst T-handle. I used a Dremel and nicked the plastic a couple times, but if you're careful, that's all you'll get. Just make sure you take good measurements before you start cutting. Measure how for the plastic sticks up, length of the vertical cuts, and how far down the horizontal cut is if you might want to put the stock shifter back on. I cut my stick off where that horizontal cut originally is. COVER YOUR INTERIOR with plastic and maybe put a couple magnets under the plastic to collect all the shavings. Wear safety glasses (goggles are preferred) and latex gloves to protect yourself. After you're done, it looks great and works like it was made that way! Swat

I did this too, but it was almost 4 years ago and I don't remember how I did it. I know there was a big PITA somewhere along the way, either with the depth of the adapter or something.

Yeah, I know, I'm a big help

That's a cool mod...never seen it before. I bet if someone tried to steal the car they wouldn't know how to shift!
