http://www.jageng.com/shift_tip.htm
has several different styles.
www.928gt.com and www.928intl.com sell the momo shifter
i've used both, and the momo has a bit bigger grip so if your hands are larger....

I like this one. It doesn't have a button. You push the whole **** down to shift. I think Carl has them @ 928 Motorsport.

I second the Jager Tip shifter option:

I think it would be nice if someone took the thumb-mechanism of the T-handle, and reoriented it like a trigger on the front of a Jager tip shifter, so that it could be activated with an index finger. It seems like it would be awkward to activate a top-mounted push button if you liked to shift between 3 and 2 frequently.

Actually, the top button on the Tip shifter is very ergonomic.

I always shift my auto - very rarely do I leave it in D.

I really like the Jager Engineering shifter. I also drive my automatic by manually shifting and this shifter really works great.

The Jager Engineering shifter has an added bonus - because the pushbutton is held in place simply by a strong magnet it can be easily removed. I take the button out of mine every time I park the car - kind of an extra theft or towing prevention measure.

I installed the Momo shift **** and leather kit from 928 Specialists and I like it much more than the original.

RobbyK,
A guy in the land of OZ (Australia) manufactures a push down shifter that seems very nice. See http://landsharkoz.com/htm/rh_ss.htm.
Paul Jaegar's shifters are top notch as well - then there's always MOMO: Still with a T handle myself - too many projects, too many choices ... Good luck in your choice!.

my screw that holds the shifter in place broke the plastic around it, so now im pushing my T shifter down instead of pushing the button.

I have to add my vote for the Jager shifter too.
Makes shifting the auto a real pleasure.

And can be adapted to any interior.
