Re: Pistol grip option

I had seen it in Dodges option cataloge,give a few parts counters a call let us know if you hit pay dirt.
I bet if you contact the vendor here they will be able to hook you up asap..
Wish I could help.

Re: Pistol grip option

Just something for you guys to think about. The T handle was originally in some of the original Challengers with an Auto trans, but the up/down shift action was front to back. The + and - on the new cas is side to side, and I think the Pistol Grip Butch is doing works much better for the side to side up/down shifts. I think the T Handle would be very uncomfortable trying to up/down shift side to side. it would be a very un natural movement

Re: Pistol grip option

Good point is the pistol grip for the auto as well?
I suspect it is if so that would be the way to go.
I see your point the t handle may really be a hassle when using the auto stick.

Re: Pistol grip option

I plan on ordering a carbon fiber one for the 6 speed. The pistol grip was always my favorite part of my 71 and 72 340 Challengers.

Yeah, I thought about that, and I don't intend to do much manual shifting with it,(probably play with it a little at first, like I did in my 300C) I just like the look, and I remember how comfortable they were.
NOTSURE// Yeah, I remember seeing it somewhere on this forum, and I actually have a picture of one shown on Allpar (Though I dont think it would work). My dealer doesn't have a catalogue yet. All the parts I got so far have been from the "accessories Catalogue " posted on this forum .
