I just changed my shift knob using a knob designed for a manual, also rewired the O/D to a toggle switch.
I'm really excited about it... no more bulky auto shifter.  |

Be a man and cut it... it's the only way to remove it anyways...
It was really easy to rewire. |

I don't care what people say, that is one of the better looking shift knob jobs on an automatic. You should do a how-to, or at least post some pictures and a little tidbit of what you did in this thread.

Well, Lewfx might want to do the same thing to his shift knob, so we'll take pictures from start to finished, because I'm to lazy to take mine apart and do it all over again.

Excellent, definitely do so. If it's something that maybe suits my fancy I may have to.

Well, have you seen the stock auto shifter? It's really bulky and so... "unsporty"
Besides, just about all the new lexus I've seen are auto yet their shifters look like manuals. |

What's the red safety switch for?
Also, It's a good idea to use the e-brake anywhere. It keeps the pressure off your transmission. -------------------- |
