Auto transmission shifter - probably a dumb question, but...

I just purchased a 2014 Mustang V6 with automatic transmission. I don't much care for the auto shift handle; I prefer a "T" shift style. As the title says, this is probably a dumb question; but would the T shift handle from an early year S197 happen to swap in to my 2014? Thanks, and please be gentle.

Like this? If so I thought your shift handle would be almost the same. My 2011 doesn't have the manual type of shifting like yours does :(

OK now I see what your are talking about. Your shifter was more like a manual transmission shifter handle because you can shift the gears with the switch on the side. We (2011) don't have this feature :(

Thanks for your reply; apologies that I wasn't clear with my question. Here is what my current shift mechanism looks like:

I would prefer a T-handle mechanism, something like this:

Looks like Ford made the shifter look more like a manual shifter because you have a manual mode. With the T shifter you would lose your manual shifting :(. I think :)

Thanks David; losing manual shifting is not an issue for me. I would just like to know if anyone can tell me if there is a T-shift handle style that will work with my shifter.
