    Pro ratchet shifter.

    You need to get the universal type, and you need to make a few cosmetic mods to make it fit.

    if you weld a tray in the trans tunnel you can have the shifter sticking out the standerd hole and looks like its factory

    They are legal if you have the light and neutral safety switch hooked up and the arrow that shows what gear your in has to be on the right side i think. Well thats how it was when I had mine in my old vk
