Yes it is possible. you will need to transfer the shifter mechanism from old steering into the newer steering. I have done mine.

I am using the paddle shifters. you have to swap it out.You will have to disassemble the housing from both shift mechanism's. This is the pic of how it looks now.

Do the buttons on the wheel still work or did you have to buy a converter kit? How much did this end up costing you to do?
