gear selector swap

has anyone swapped out the older looking gear selector from a 2k with one from a 02-03? since trying to find an AE shift **** is almost impossible maybe swapping to the newer gear selector is easier. any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

if you have an AE auto shift **** for sale please let me know.

There are some mechanical differences I'm not sure you can overcome. First, as best I can recall, the throw of the shifter is longer for the 5.5 version. It also does not follow a linear path from P to 1. I'm trying remember if the 5g has overdrive on dash or shifter - in any case, OD is built into the shift mechanism for the 5.5 NOT a button. Also, the shaft on the 5.5 is solid and it uses a manual shift ****.

Fitment is the easy part. Getting it to work properly is going to be the challenge. Though, why not install a non-AE 5g shift mechanism?
