The tee handle on my late 90S4 went south about 20 years ago and I replaced it with a Momo unit with the shift release button central. I lost the S4 around 2005 and after acquiring the GTS I noticed the tee handle was falling apart on that and grafted the Momo item onto it. The thing is still there working perfectly well to this day.

If you have a falling apart/broken T handle and want to make one better than new you should look around the forum for the post about using a copper tube and jbweld to rebuild the bottom end of it. I plan on doing the same with mine, but for the time being I'm just using the momo button on top shifter.

I don't know what the best aftermarket option is nowadays, but along the lines of what @Charles Holbrook is suggesting:

A post by @Steve J. in this thread:

WTB: Auto shifter T-handle

mentions a repair process involving brass tubing and JB Weld.

@Mike Schmidt describes a similar process with an unspecified metal tube and epoxy, found on @Greg Nichols tips site here:

Unfortunately it is one of the Jager handles and looking to replace because of wear.

I may have some factory ones, would you prefer brown or black?

Black would be color. New or used? Price?

I have two used black handles. Here are photos of the one in lessor condition. The mounting area is intact, one side has a crack thru the screw bore. I'll PM you to discuss price.

I think this is the same as a Jager one
