I was wondering the same thing. My 4-speed Hurst T-handle had no button. To get into the reverse gate, you slap the ****. I found this to be more pleasant with a ball, instead.

The only thing that I've ever seen a button on a Hurst shifter handle do, is function as an electrical switch, to activate a line lock, nitrous or whatever you'd want it to do. Hurst still sells a variety of shift ***** and handles with this button, to this day.

Yes a automatic T handle by Hurst . Here is a stock photo . My vintage handle is missing the button . And yes it is for line lock and or a nitro shot ect. Point to is I was looking for just a button not the handle with button. That being said , I went to radio Shack and found one the will work for me .

I thought that too. Looks like there are a few left, just none of the ones I used to go to. Glad it worked out for you! What will the button do?
