Do they make custom auto shift *****?

Hey all my car didn't come with a shift ****. Its an automatic and I cant seem to find any custom shift *****. I personally don't like the stock **** for the automatics that these cars come with so I was just curious. Thanks a bunch everyone.

I think you would have to buy a whole new shifter assembly

Re: Do they make custom auto shift *****?

only thing I can find is the b&m mega shifter. its not that expensive and I'm pretty sure a lot of people on here use it.

If you have the funds and know how i would recommend switching to a manual trans or at least a better auto like a turbo350 or something.

Re: Do they make custom auto shift *****?

i have an auto and i have a manual shift **** on the stock shifter. its the kind that uses the sleeve and set screws to stay in place, rather than the typical threaded type. its nice and solid too, doesn't move around. i got it @ autozone for like $25.

the one i have:

it has LEDs, but i dont ever use them. you can't tell unless they're on. i only got it bc it was black, it matched my interior, and it looked better than the stock shift ****.

Re: Do they make custom auto shift *****?

If you use a manual **** on a stock auto shifter how do you get away without the park release button?

Re: Do they make custom auto shift *****?

Momo makes a stylish automatic shift **** that would work. You might also look into newer oem shift ***** from different cars (GM & otherwise).

Re: Do they make custom auto shift *****?

I did something a little different. I took a manual ****, put a plastic insert in between the **** and the stick, actually I cut it down quite a bit too. It could slide off yeah, but its actually a good balance between being tight and being able to move. To put it into gear, you push down on the ****.
