Anyone know how an automatic shift knob works???

[02cruiser]

Hi I have an 02 LE with with an auto. I hate the shift knob on this car. I've seen automatic shift knobs online made for the cruiser and i just don't like them of the price. On my 06 jaguar s-type also an auto the shift knob doesn't have a button (solid wood) i was wondering how a push button shift knob works so i may be able to modify my shifter so i can put a manual transmission knob on my cruiser

To take it off there's a tiny little Alan Wrench screw under the head of the shifter. It's really awkward to get at but once that screw is loose/out the shifter just lifts off. Watch out for the stalk and spring that's left. If you look around there are kits that come with a new stalk, spring and knob.



Here's one place that has a chrome shifter for the 01-02 cruisers.

I just took the shifter kit off of my PT. Its reallly easy to install. I've had 3-4different knobs on it over the years. I'll sell you my kit much cheaper than what you find online. Let me know if you are interested.

howdy, new guy here, been a mopar guy for over 40 years now, just bought an 03 cruiser with an automatic, is there a way to put a non button shift handle on my shifter, i'm oldskooling my pt out, and i have a brass shift knob with the pentastar from my first car which was a 66 satellite with a 4 speed, that my grandfather made in his machine shop 30 years ago, when he was still alive, anyway i would love to put it in my pt, but i would never drill it, it has standard hurst shifter threads, thanks, scott
