Brushed Aluminum T handle shift knobs

**Transam388** · 07-07-2007, 12:11 PM

I have the standard 4L60E with stock shift handle. The handle is falling apart and I would like to put a brushed aluminum one on in it's place. Here is the thing, none of the ones I have seen actually look like they will fit or have a push button to move the shifter. Most either are for manuals or they have an electric shift button. Does anyone know of what specifically I need to look for when trying to find an aftermarket shift handle? Thanks!

Thanks. Gotta say that red looks pretty good in there. So how does the ball shifter work though as far as that push button? I don't see where the heck any shift button would be on the one you have.

There is a little adapter you also have to buy it is sold on the site I listed. Anyway you just push down to shift easy to get use to.

Alot of those parts were made by "Mallory Billet Aluminum (MBA) which folded about a year ago, even the pictures look like the ones on their old sight.

Looks really good. I love the MBA Shift knob. Huge improvement over stock handle. I will suggest if you get one of their handles that you also stop by Homedepot or Lowes and grab some rubber gromets. They work much better than those chitty shims they give you, plus the handle won't ever want to twist on you.
