Stag or Triumph saloon/estate Or Dolomite Sprint

but all I think are  longer than the TR original
 

If you are stuck I have a long gearstick in the garage that is for overdrive cars but No knob and switch though.

Non TR gear levers are quite a lot longer  and quite a bit different in angle from a genuine one.

In the photo, the one on the left is from a TR6 and the one on the right from a stag/saloon/sprint - unfortunately I can't remember which model it came from nor do I know if the non TR models are all the same or different - a little but not a lot of help!

They do a gear knob and switch for the Healey which is popular.

i have a little momentary switch on the dash on my 3a. Works very well with hands on the wheel changes. 
don’t know if the 6 will have the spacing to allow this.

spot the overdrive changes in one of my videos.

When I had the switch on the stick I cut and shut the top section of a saloon lever to the bottom of my 4a lever so it ended up the same length as original.

No GT6 stick does not fit TR gearbox.

Strange I'm pretty sure my TR box has an old GT6 gear-stick with switch that I had cut down & welded 25 years ago.
I will check my stick and see if it still has the weld.

Yes you can cut the top half of a GT6 or MGB gearstick with the overdrive switch and knob assembly off that stick and weld it to a TR stick.  It is the bit that fits in the gearbox remote that is not the same between  GT6 & TR or MGB come to that.
