Sexy Automatic ... or is it? Options

[Chanh55]

I just changed my shift knob using a knob designed for a manual, also rewired the O/D to a toggle switch.

I'm really excited about it... no more bulky auto shifter.

[Batman722]

the look of a stick but the feel of an auto

nice job it does look good

[afroman]

how did you get the o/d button out i cant figure it out for the life of me i kinda dont want to cut wrie if i dont have to.
-Aaron-

[Chanh55]

Be a man and cut it... it's the only way to remove it anyways...

It was really easy to rewire.

[dustin15brown]

I like the look, even though it's still an auto

[LewFX]

grrrrr, i hate when people use the emergency brake when its not needed. enhh it looks okay, im not feeling it.

[snadman]

I don't care what people say, that is one of the better looking shift knob jobs on an automatic. You should do a how-to, or at least post some pictures and a little tidbit of what you did in this thread.

[Chanh55]

Well, Lewfx might want to do the same thing to his shift knob, so we'll take pictures from start to finished, because I'm to lazy to take mine apart and do it all over again.

[snadman]

Excellent, definitely do so. If it's something that maybe suits my fancy I may have to.

its kind of like going out with a hot girl, having a great time, and later finding out she really has a penis. so i guess its ok, as long as no one ever puts their hand on it....lol

[Chanh55]

Well, have you seen the stock auto shifter? It's really bulky and so... "unsporty"

Besides, just about all the new lexus I've seen are auto yet their shifters look like manuals.

[amysmojo]

Chan I didnt know ur celi is Auto! nice hehe

Next time I drive down there you should do that to mine too

[Chanh55]

See ya Saturday? Mini-meet #2.

ahahahahahaah omg Art I <3 you.

why not just do a manual swap silly?

[Chanh55]

Meh... 1 I'm not a mechanic, 2 I don't want to pay 2k or whatever for someone to do it.

This whole thing cost me 20 bucks. Beat that.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

lol alllrighty, it looks good.

[tomazws]

god damn auto knob looks better than my ****ing stanard shift nob argh!

[SoundSlut_dotcom]

looks great man. im totally considering it if u dont mind! ;D

[Cutrara]

What's the red safety switch for?

Also, It's a good idea to use the e-brake anywhere. It keeps the pressure off your transmission.

i hate that too..but the shift knob on the uato look awesome.. i want to try and fit an auto supra one into ours.

[blu94gt]

[right][snapback]330134[/snapback][/right]

It's good to use the ebrake even if the auto is going to hold the car. The stop in the auto transmission can brake if it has too much pressure on it, and trust me, that is not a fun thing to happen. Even though it's not always necessary, if you're on a slope of any kind it's easier on your auto to use the ebrake

I always just end up turning it on in any car I drive bc I've always had a manual so if I drive my fiance's car or something I put on the ebrake out of habit.

lol hes talking about the park/lock release button, i hope. you most likely push down on it to shift it out of park, at least thats how most aftermarket auto shifters work.

[Chanh55]

I modded it so if you push down on the knob, it unlocks so you will be able to shift.

[jess_i_74]

Smart man, Chan. Like the look.



(I'm just really really glad mine's not a slushbox . . . I vowed that I would never buy a car that wasn't stick, it's just too much fun shifting gears.)

ok i see, thanks guys, very nice work chanh55

[Chanh55]

Manuals are really fun indeed, but I bought the car to communte like 40 miles a day every morning.

At the time I was driving a CRX manual and it was a bitch driving in traffic.

But now I'm starting to miss manual shifting again... my next car will definately be stick.
