Well, it's already broken. Might as well try your luck and see if it fixes it.

If I had a dollar for every time that same thought went through my head during a repair!In my case that is often be followed by me making an even bigger mess of it and a thought something like: "Since it is now way busted all to ^$#@%$@ -
might as well upgrade it"!.. 1971 GTX 440 Gray Primer Air Grabber

Yep, I have to admit to that as well. Very few of my hopeless repairs turn hopeful...Then yes, results in upgrades.RS23U1E wrote:Well, it's already broken. Might as well try your luck and see if it fixes it.

Re: t-handle question?
My original T-handle was not attached when i bought the car, it was in the console box in pieces, i put it back together , looked good felt good, seemed to actuate ok.
But then i pulled the top woodgrain plate off to better align the console over the shift mecahnism, and when re-assmenbled the darn T-handle spring button wouldn't work.
Anyhow, i bought a repro from Year-one. The chromed plastic piece that surrounds where the button goes in, fell off as soon as i took it out of the bag..... it wasn't formed correctly compared to the original, and wouldn't stay in place. So i sent it back to year one + got money back.
Fast foward to now, i couldn't fix the original, so i bought another T-handle from YearOne [ this time with a discount code $$] . The second one came in a box , and a bag. It seems to work fine and fit fine, granted the car has not left the driveway, so who knows if it'll hold up on the street ?
Auto-grip looks nicely made, but i practiced for driving test in uncles 72 Challenger with the T-handle, so i too chose to stay with the original style.

Re: t-handle question?
don't know what all the problems are from...the only one i ever had was having the screw be too long, interfering with operation - a modified machine screw solved that
