what year is your lude? The reason you can probably only find adapters is that certain years of preludes are cable shifted instead of having a full on shifter that plugs right into a gearbox. If it is cable shifted then the only thing you will be able to find is an adapter. I'm pretty sure that's right. If I'm mistaken, will someone set me straight? I had an adapter on my 93 that worked well. I don't think there is anything wrong with adapters as long as you get a good one and install it right
