Automatic Shifter ***** Can some people with aftermarket automatic shifter ***** please post some pictures and where they purchased them and for how much. I have been looking all over and I don't really see many nice ones out there. Thanks for the help.

Re: Automatic Shifter ***** There has to be something nice out there. My buddy has a 99 Mustang GT and he just got the B&M T handle short throw in chrome for his automatic and it looks sweet. Why don't they make something like that for our cars? And yes he admits it to everyone that I will kick his a$$ in a race.
Re: Automatic Shifter ***** No problem, I have to dig out the digital camera, but I'll get some pics to you soon. I LOVE the red lights, they blend with the dash lighting perfectly. I'll try to get a good pic of that, too. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: Automatic Shifter ***** Ichibahn Cruz Automatic Shift handle. I bought it from www.driverfx.com, but you can get it at a ton of places, including Crutchfield.

Installation was very simple and required NO modifications to the car.

Re: Automatic Shifter ***** Sorry for the delay in replying.
Here is a brief write-up:
The leather shift boot is available from Pep Boys for $25-$30 (Althgough I have seen similar ones for less elsewhere after-the-fact <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" /> ). Its a replacement manual shiftboot with an elastic at the bottom.
The steps are roughly as follows:
1. remove shifter handle
(remove the staple in the front, then pull up)
2. remove the top part of console
(there are two screws hidden under the coin tray in the center glovebox, i think it just comes up after that -- i dont remember)
3. remove sliding mechanism from underside of console (its white with black sliders.)
4. remove black plastic sliding peices from sliding mechanism.
5. push the shift boot throught the console hole and secure it by sandwiching it in place with the sliding mechanism. Test fit the boot and trim as needed (the boot is longer that needed).
6. Put everything back together, without the black sliding pieces.
Note: During reasembly, make sure shifter rod goes thought the loop/hole in the middle of the sliding mechanism. Otherwise the sliding mechanism wont work properly. The current gear wont be shown and some gears may be locked out because the mechanism may be in the way. Also, dont tighten the screws in the sliding mechanism too much. This could make its operation stiff and possibly cause damage.
