    You're looking for a photo of the actual "emergency" shift lever which "plugs into" the stud (the one sticking out of the floor)?  The shift lever is the one which is held by straps to the passenger's side upholstered panel, forward of the door and under the dashboard.

    Here is the stud at the top of the transmission, visible through the floor.  It's basically a short rod with a slot at the top:



    Here is the underside of the emergency shift lever, which plugs into the floor stud.



    Basically, what you have is a steel rod (forming the lever) with a short steel collar welded to the outside.  As I recall, there is a steel pin passing through the walls of the collar, perpendicular to the line of the rod.  The collar slips around the floor stud and the pin engages the slot in the floor stud so that the shift lever does not rotate around the floor stud.

    I borrowed these images from our Forum member "Big Sky".
