I couldn't find a shifter that fitted my budget, while fitting the close surroundings inside my FED.
While a lot of dragster guys and girls locate the shifter in the middle, under the steering wheel, I have never before seen a shifter in a dragster on the left side. ( but then again, there's only half a dozen dragsters here in Iceland)
It works for me, its within close range of the steering wheel and I keep my hand on it while staging and launching the car. Once the 1-2 shift is completed I got two hands on the wheel.
Its connected to the transmission via 3/8 stainless rod, fitting the upside down, slightly lengthened gear selector.
From 1'st the gear lever has a slot to hit when 2gear engages. then you flex the lever over and past the slot to hit neutral. Once in neutral you have to lift a spring loaded flap to find reverse and park.
I made a small video of how it operates from inside the car.
