An adjustable gearshift assembly ( 10, 130 ) for connecting by a bracket ( 16 ) to a transmission of a motor vehicle, providing a shifter knob ( 12, 132 ) movable to a selected position relative to an elongate member ( 14, 144 ). The shifter knob ( 12, 132 ) defines an elongate inner recess ( 26, 146 ) slidably received on the elongate member ( 14, 144 ). A holder connects to the shifter knob ( 12, 132 ) to fix the shifter knob ( 12, 132 ) in a selected position. The holder selectively releases to allow the shifter knob ( 12, 132 ) to be moved to a selected second position. The holder of the first embodiment includes a ball ( 92 ) which communicates through a port ( 90 ) between one of a plurality of seats in the elongate member ( 14 ) and a slot ( 80 ) in the actuator ( 70 ). The second embodiment provides a spring plunger ( 158 ) that maintains the position of the shifter knob ( 132 ) relative to the elongate member ( 144 ). A method of selectively positioning a gearshift is disclosed.
