Shifter Handle

Nope... not w/o mods to the shifter stalk (as far as I know).
From my personal experience...
The stalk has 2 slots @ 3 & 9 o'clock that the handle slides into
& there is the "U"clip that secures the handle at the correct height
& keeps the handle locked down when applying the shift button to select
gears (otherwise the handle would move up instead of pushing the "J" rod down)
Every other GM shifter stalk I've seen has the slots cut at 12 & 6 o'clock
making any handle clocked *90 out
; unless there is a round or square knob (maybe on some Camaro apps).
You could:
1) use a tap & die to create a threaded area to rec'v an aftermarket shifter
2)use tap & die to ream the lands off the inside of GM shifter of your choice & use a set screw and the "U" clip to secure it (I've done this w/ limited success)
3) obtain a second shifter stalk & modify it (I'm currently using this method w/ a GM shifter handle :biggrin
4) remove & re-weld the shifter stalk *90
there are probably other methods (which I would like to hear about as well!)
HTH!
