    After you unscrew the cover and detach the connectors, give the wires going to the handle some slack and off the handle goes. There is just a spring loaded push button kind of thing that gets revealed. Seems customizable to me..o90qx2_b160faf9e8720884ac1ef02473c95c7131e3d034.jpg

    That "button" is your overdrive switch.

    No, the pinkish looking thing next to the two screws from the shifter handle.. that is what you press when you change gears.

    thought those autos had a index type lock out...
    that keeps the operator from shifting into reverse...
    as well as hold in park.
    You get to play with 3-2-1

    Just to change the style of the handle. Looks to big and bulky, and its too plain. I want to make it more like something to my taste.
