Hello,
I was surprised to not see a hint of the clutch pedal! Made me dig.
I didn't realize the shifter was available with the auto transmission too.
Regards.....

I have the Hurst pistol grip shifter in my 2023 Challenger, and the stock shifter in the '69 Vette, both automatics. Each one has it's place. Pistol grip is a "must" if you're into Mopar.

Challenger Shifter...
