• means for coupling said first member to said second member;
• a housing means defined by a first cap and a second cap forming an interior cavity when coupled together, each said cap sized to encompass a portion of a transmission selector handle, said first cap approximates the shape of one half of a spherical ball with an inner surface and an outer surface forming a wall of nominal thickness leading to a first edge about the greatest diameter of said first cap, said first edge having a plurality of receptacles integrated therein, said second cap approximates the shape of one half of a spherical ball with an inner surface and an outer surface forming a wall of nominal thickness providing a second edge about the greatest diameter of said second cap;
• and a lock means disposed in said second cap having a plurality of bands operatively associated with said receptacles of said first cap for locking said caps together.
