You were just working on the knob weren't you?

I want to change the whole shifter itself.

And you havnt been online for me to harrass you in a while hahaha.

Yeah switch to manual..great idea..much easier for the RHD swap and redoing your trans crossmember.

hahaha... i knew it was a matter of time before you'd comment.

I dunno if the tranny x-member would need to be re-done... nobody has confirmed that one yet.

Chill out Tonto.

I never said I was gonna switch... it would be nice to have the manual... but would also be more work when it comes to switching the pedals over and clutch cylinder and what not... im sure i can adapt a after market shifter to suit my needs.

I've sent an email off to Lokar Tech Support to see if they've got anything that will work, or will work with minor modifications.

here is a link to summit.. any one of these will work with a little bit of fab work to mount it.

Changing from an auto to a stick isn't fun all the bolt holes are there but you pretty much have to have a parts truck sitting there thats a stick otherwise you'll be running back and forth from the junk yard r parts store a million times for little clips and bolts and shit. The tranny crossmember is the same but the mount is different and the driveshaft and the carrier bearing for the driveshaft all are different

Keep it auto Corey. It will save you room on the firewall. One reasone I didnt go RHD was because there isnt enough room between the intake and the fenderwell for a brake booster and a clutch master. And I have a small booster.

yeah i'd pretty much prefer to keep it auto... I won't be changing it to manual.

I kinda like the look of these style shifters...

I should be getting a call back from Lokar today hopefully.... The tech wants to discuss the application I guess.
