Yes, it is a pretty simple procedure.  Radio shack happens to sell some
small buttons which fit into the first hole on the wheel spoke.  I took
alligator clips and clipped to the inside of the T2's red dash buttons,
then placed buttons on the wheel spoke facing away from me, therefore
switching gears with index finger.  With this method I made NO permanent
changes to the wheel.  PP Small

Thurstmaster has come out with a Grand Prix 2 that has buttons mounted
on the wheel.... but you can go to a web site called
http://www.mouser.com and look at various switches you might be able
to apply.

Instead of buttons I used microswitches (can be found at RadioShack).
They require very little pressure to change gears, and make a nice
click sound. I can go from 6th to 1st very quickly...

They are placed just at the right spot to use the middle finger
while still holding the wheel firmly.

Now if only I could get Nascar2 to recognize my pedals!
