My Autostick gets...

a MGW "GT" Shift Knob and AutoVation "Dead Pedal". Both are easy to install, have a custom fit, and are made of high-quality material. [8D] [?]

How did you get the stock ball off? I need to change my shifter brezel but I can't get my ball off =o(

Using a 3mm allen wrench find the set-screw on the front of your ball knob (about 1/4 inch up from the base) and remove it completely. Then pull up on the ball and it should "pop off" the shaft. It may be a bit tight--mine was not. You shouldn't have a problem. Good luck.

Gary, Looks great, but the best part about the shifter knob is how it feels while driving. I repalces a nice looking Revel polished billet shifter knob with the GT knob. Its one of the best mods that I've done to the interior. Its got a great feel and I like the fact that theres no button. [8]



Nice job on the fade out too!!

thats what i'm wondering no button, how do you shift it?

Punch,

I have the GT shifter knob that Gary and Alan (GearHead) have. The shifter ball is internally spring loaded. You press down on the ball in order to move past the shift detents. As soon as you get the gear you need, stop pressing on the ball. In AutoStick mode, you tap left or right, just like you used to.

Gary and Alan,

Does your shifter knob have a little play? Meaning, can you slightly turn the ball an 1/8th or so of an inch? The base doesn't move since it is located by the allen-head pin. I just notice a "jiggle" if you inadvertantly grab the ball and try to twist it. No danger foreseen. I just want to know if it is normal.

Thanks,

Scott
