Yup. You can flip the shift arm on the side of the tranny, IF it is one that can be flipped. Alot of them are a solid piece, and would have to be changed out. To take one out, you have to drop the valvebody.

One that aims the other direction. Column shift arms point down, floor shift arms point up, or vica versa.
