Really no hacking involved, take off your **** and screw on the new one and see if it works. I believe the thread size is different though, you will need to get an adapter from the hardware store or sonthin.

T-Handle on a manual trans? Never seen one before.

Old skool.
Very popular in the '60's.

Not what I'd want to see in a Corvette, though....more like a Fairlane/Chevelle/Barracuda period item.

well. i got the **** off no problem thanks to the tech portion of this great corvette site and i went to screw the handle on, but the threads were to small, but i decided to scrap the idea becuase it would look kinda hacked and lame with the reverse lockout mechanism visable since it tucks nicely away in the stock ****. for some reason now its really hard for me to lift the lockout up. maybe i screwed the **** down to much. guess ill loosen it up a bit
