AUTO SHIFTER QUESTION, O/D Options

[95celgt]

Yea well I really want to get rid of the ugly stock shifter but the ONLY shifter on ebay W/Overdrive button is like $70. To much for a shifter I say, so what I want to ask is, Is it possible to put a normal aftermarket auto shifter and put the O/D button elsewhere? This would really help.

LOL!!! I THINK I PUT POOPER INSTEAD OF SHIFTER ON THE TITLE, SORRY!!!

Yes, you can do it no problem. Just take the screws out of the normal auto shifter and take out the... molding around the shifter so you can get into the cars guts. The shifter won't come right off because it's held on by the OD wire. The wire itself is shielded by a plastic piece which you have to cut. Once you do that, cut the wire and remove the stock shifter. use a coat hanger and pull the wire you cut out of the shifter assembly and to where you can work with it.

Put on the new shifter and find a place to mount the OD button. For the button itself, just use the one on the original shifter. Use a knife to pop off the plastic plate covering the button, and then there is one screw holding it in place. Take that out and re-wire it. Then you will have a OD button and new shifter ready to go!
