Re: Just drove an SRT manual prototype

All the AutoStick woes will be solved when the Mopar Accessory T-handle shifter comes out for the Challenger which should also fit in on the Charger/Magnum/300.

It has full quadrant access and is up/down as opposed to left/right.

I hope the T-handle shifter comes with some reccommended shift map reprogramming because I wonder if one can control the shifter on these like the old days with manual control on the shifters. It just seems that the ones that I drove had software controling the trans per my shifts. I want to be able to lock down in 2nd or 1st and feel a chirp. Likewise, I want to hear 1-2 upshift chirps when I slam the shifter into 2nd. The T-handle should help as I don't know if I can get used to slamming left to right, I might get carpal tunnel syndrome from flexing certain muscles in my wrists when I throw the car into a corner after a rapid downshift session.
