Don't go to pistolgrip727, go get the best out there www.harmsauto.com There's are tilt grips with NO trigger. Yes they will fit straight on to your 71-74 shifter.
I'll be getting one. To engage gears you give the handle a decent push down and shift back or forward, thats it easy.
They cost $300 USD but they can make you a custom handle, want more tilt? They'll do it, want a different shift pattern up top (PRDN21) They'll do it.......for an extra $30.
I think there a great shifter and if you don't like it, just send it back for a free no questions asked money back return!


Sheesh does this sound like an add or what LMAO!! Anyway that's my opinion............

When I first read that I thought you meant you had never driven a manual shift!

The HARMS grip above won't slip into gear, I'm pretty sure they would have sorted that bug out ages ago. LOL!!
Like I said all you need to do to get from Park to Drive is give it a decent or solid push down. DOWN, not up or across. So unless you have an unusual shifting style you'll be fine.
But your call, be good if we can see the photos of the shifter........
