F40 Shifter Options

When doing the F40 swap using a regal trans, can the Saab 6 speed shifter that looks like the oem f35 shifter be used? Can I just use Saab base and cables and be fine?

I would like a stock appearing swap. The regal shift knob looks horribly out of place in a cobalt.

I know the cables are the upgraded cables for Saab because the old ones the rubber would get soft so they made a flex at the mount on the transmission

So, the Buick cables work with the Saab shifter base?


Can the regal shifter use the Saab 6 speed knob?
i just really hate the way the regal shifter looks.

How does the shift knob attach? Could a better looking knob be used?
