Auto shifters other than the TCI Ratchet Shifter?

Looking for any kind of options to the TCI Ratchet Shifter. I like the idea of it, but I think it looks pretty ugly. Is it possible to just buy a different looking auto shift **** or does Hurst make any ratchet shifters for an 05-09 Mustang?

I got the TCI ball shifter as replacement. I like the feel way better.

Yeah, that does look better. Can you just order the shifter like that? Or do you have to buy the ball part separately?

So does any **** with a 3/8 16 thread fit on the TCI Ratchet Shifter? Like this for example?

I have one more question about the ratchet shifter. What happens when you're going up through the gears and you get to D? Does it just shift into 5th gear automatically since there's no way to select 5th? Or does it just stay in 4th gear?

Fifth I think... if you have it in over drive it goes to fourth. What I do is put it in OD then on drive turn off. Usually I do this on the highway. I'll test it and let you now what is exactly...
