Lol, kinda reminds me of the one we had on our '78 Ford 16 ton wrecker. It had like a T-handle made of clear red plastic with sparkles in it. I agree, eBay may be ur best bet. Some truck stops might have somethin similar

Clutchess are for stopping & starting not shifting. At least in an unsync trans, float shifting is alot smother in my opinon. Nothin sounds better than clutchless shifting with the jake on, esply with some straight stacks!!
