Abstract

A shift lever handle structure and equipping method operates with a shift lever having on top thereof a shift range selector having pneumatic lines connected thereto. A handle for the shift lever extends above the shift range selector across thereof. This handle is provided with a bent stem having an elongate foot facing away from a midportion of the elongate handle. This elongate foot is oriented parallel to the shift lever and such parallel foot is attached to a side of the shift lever below the shift range selector, with the handle then extending above the shift range selector across thereof, as desired, and the pneumatic lines remaining intact.
