Default Custom A4 shift ****

I went to the junk yard yesterday to get some V6 springs and found a Sunfire with a button on the shifter **** that I liked. I came home and rewired my line lock to the button as well as making a boot to hide the wires. I didn't have to do any customizing of the stock shifter to get this handle to fit BTW.

So you went to Barrys and got v6 springs to put on your car to lower the front? Handles cool too BTW.

No... I got V6 springs for the back to lift it up a bit. The new CME made the car look too low and since it was already lowered I had to get new springs. I did the hose mod to get the right stance though.

As far as a write up on the handle, its as easy as taking the old one off and putting a new one on. You can wire anything you want to the button and for me it was the line lock. I soldered the wires in line and that was the end of it.

I like the Buick Regal shift ****, can be had with the button too. It should be a straight fit as well, most auto GM ****'s from the era should fit. They all used the same clip.
