71-74 Gunslinger Handle

Included with the shifter handle is the original 4-speed style pattern, brown plastic grips, and automatic shift.

General Info
The correct shifter handle for the 1971 to 1974 B & E bodies is a black plastic "T" handle with a chrome button on the drivers side of the T. If you remove the handle, you will see a 2 inch long natural steel color flat shaft, that is 5/8" wide with rounded ends. It has a 1/8" steel rod in the center. When the button is pressed, it will unlock the shifter and allow you to shift gears. If you place the shifter into 1st gear, and slap it forward, it will slide into 2nd and stop. When your hand pressure is released, you can slap it again into drive. This is a slapstick shifter. Our Gunslinger shifter handle is a direct bolt on for this application.
Because of the T handle breaking, in late 1974 and 1975 Chrysler installed a longer version of the 1970 style shifter in some cars. It is very easy to see the difference. The round chrome plated shaft is 4" long and uses the same brown ball with a black button. Our Gunslinger shifter handle is a direct bolt on for this application.
Operation
Operation of the shifter is simple. Instead of the button, you have a trigger. To change gears, lift up on the trigger like you did with the button and move the shifter to the desired gear and release. If you drop the selector into 1st gear, and you want to shift into second, simply slap the shifter into 2nd, release your hand pressure and it will lock. Then slap it again into 3rd. To shift out of 3rd, you must lift up on the trigger, same as you did with the button. Installation time is 2 minutes or less. There is no cutting or modifying your car. It is a simple bolt on installation. The Gunslinger handle operates the same as your factory handle, except you now have a cool looking handle.
Installation
Installation takes 2 minutes or less. The "T" handle is held on by a screw near the bottom of the shifter. Remove screw, and save screw and black T handle in a plastic bag. At the top of the shaft, you will see an 1/8" rod. If rod is bent, get a pair of pliers and make it straight. Slide the supplied black rubber bushing on steel shaft of shifter, and press into space at bottom of shifter. Slide Gunslinger Shifter Handle over factory shaft, tighten 2 set screws. Install complete. You are ready to Rock and Roll with your new Gunslinger Handle. Enjoy and have fun.
