Automatic Shift Knob

Postby LatinDragonXJC » Tue Oct 04, 2005 9:18 pm

I've been searching the site for the last 2 hours or so. And have a couple of questions about the AT shift knob and emergency brake knob in our 'Laras.

Are they easy to take off and change?

Do you guys recommend any type of shifter? Im looking at the ebay shifters and Ima bit wary of being sent some plastic crap.

Are there aftermarket shifter/brake lever knob combos out there?

And lastly, from what Ive researched some of you guys relocated the overdrive button, is that neccessary to install a Aftermarket shifter?

Thanks in advance, I know I know, its alot of crap to answer. But Im sure im not the only one who wants to know.

^Nice Hsakuragi, I've had that shift knob in my car as well, about 4 years now. I dunno if it's just me, but has the chromy finish on your button chipped away as well, or am I alone on that boat?
