Automatic Shifter

Ok. This is my question. I've been googling for two days now to no avail; I'm hoping someone here has either done this or can point me in the right direction.

I have an automatic. I want to change the shifter knob. I don't like the pistol grip style, the billet version of the stock shift knob, or that bulbous Hurst monstrosity. What I want is something more like a manual knob, round. Is there any knob available with a reverse switch that resembles that? And does anyone know the thread size for the shifter itself or what adapter I might need to fit something else on there?

I know this is kind of out there. Just hoping someone has some info for me.

It's the only thing that will do what you want that I'm aware of. Any questions feel free to ask.

Have you tried the Drake shifter, that's the one that was in the concept camaro. Billet Aluminum.

Yes I saw that one and not not much care for the style. I wanted something a little more traditional manual shifter looking, the setup I ordered looks very nice and I can't wait to install it!
