Default Manual shift **** with automatic

Has anyone used that adapter so you can use with a manual shift ****? How does it work? and how do you depress it to shift??

I'm thinking of the hurst handle also, the chrome one with HURST word. But that adapter looks like it will sit too high. I still might buy one and see if I like it.

I have the handle and it has plenty of metal to the body of it. I was thinking of making the actual handle act as it's own adapter by milling out the handle and tapping in a lock screw in the back. The stock shifter has a pin that sticks out the top pretty high. don't want to trim that because then there is no going back.
