I never understood why they make auto shifters that are not angled towards the driver but instead angled directly towards the front/back. When I reach to shift into gear my palm area just below my thumb hits the shifter button instead of my thumb. Maybe my arms are too short or I have the seat too high or something, but it annoys the hell out of me.

I'd like to know if the shifter knob could be turned slightly clockwise so that I can grip it correctly. I'd rather ask and find out here before I attempt to take it apart.

 

Ik it can be removed, however twisted I'm not for sure. I removed mine and put a B&M T-handle on too and did what you are talking about angled the knob towards me.

 

How exactly do you remove it? I've damn near killed myself trying to but it doesn't seem to want to come off...

 

I just saw that your said button probably an 07-10 I removed my 11 I'm not sure if the older ones can, have you tried searching on YouTube?

 

put a torch to the shaft and slowly bend the metal.

 

It comes off. Drake makes a handle with the button on top. Check quadratecs website. Best of luck.

 

Rotated mine clockwise, drilled a 1/8 hole and used a pop rivet instead of the original screw
