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!!!

Fallenhero is right about hooking up another switch to it which is simple. The easiest but not proper way to do is as follows(it works and i've done it before on my last toyota). If the shift knob you want doesn't have an od button on it, and you always leave overdrive on anyways,and if you don't want to hook up an external switch this is what you do>Press the od button so as that it is on as normal, don't press it again at all,now remove your shift handle and cut the wires but cut them one at a time taping the ends up and don't let them come in contact with each other the whole time you are doing this. After all that put your new shift knob on and your overdrive will always be on.
