I would so do it too, but I have an automatic. I am tempted to get one and find a way to incorporate it into my truck somewhere.

Maybe get a little rubber hose and stick it on the end so it holds it still??

You can hold anything on there with a wad of epoxy.

I was gonna make a thread on this of IMO whats the best replacement **** i've found.

ive tryed a bunch from autozone

the only one i found i really liked and actually stayed tight was the aluminum one that is shaped almost like a stocker, feels REALLY good on the hand only down side is if its cold out ..
