Can you swap a 2015 Auto Gear lever for the new 2020 one?

I was looking at it recently, and was wondering if anyone has any idea if this is possible?

If you look at realoem.com and cross reference the parts, it seems to be compatible. Not sure if you need any extra bits or tinkering.

I don’t think so. The old gear lever moves when you select various gear positions. The new one is like a toggle switch. It moves back to center after selecting gears..

Yup won't work, to bad the new lever feels like poop, and why did they angle it forward. With the new shifter most people have to reach for it now.

What about contacting Steve @ Cravenspeed. He seems to be the mad scientist type to engineer an upgrade to this new style?
