Default Automatic Shift ****

I just got an aftermarket shift **** from TR. It looks great! I think it was a little hard due to MBA going out of business a while ago, but TR pulled through. (2005 right) Sadly it looks on my CC statement like I was refunded for the mounting kit. I hope it's not discontinued. I'm going to call them tomorrow, but thought I would chime in and ask a few questions just in case.

For those who do have automatics, and have replaceced their shift **** what hardware was required? It looks like their are threads inside the **** to srew something into, but I'd need some way to attach it to the stick of the automatic shifter. Again, I'm just assuming the worst that the item is discontinued.

-Chris

Try this post.
It pertains to T-handle ***** but it does talk about the adapter (with pics) you're referring to.

Abraham Lincoln and I share a birthday.

Something I should have noted before ...
If TR does not come through with that piece there are a few sponsors and even a few non-sponsors that still might have them.

Use a B&M shift **** adapter. It has two allen screws on the sides to attach to the plastic inside the shifter's outer metal tube, fits around the outside, and has threads to fit a **** for a manual trans. Cheap part that goes on without a hitch. The switch should take you 5 minutes. If your **** has a nut for adjusting where it sits on the threads (ie to face a specific direction) throw it away and use red Loc-tite for a cleaner install.

Just got off the phone w/TR. They are looking into it. Where do you get the B&M adapter. I looked at a few sponsors as well as B&M's site, and couldn't find it.

I have the adapter piece that screws into the MBA **** for a auto car. I got it with the ball I just bought off another member. It's just a little threaded on one end aluminum piece & the other end goes down into the stock shifter somehow.

PM me if you want it.
