A4 shift adapter

[sste31]

Alright I ran across a corvette website and checked it out and they had a shift adapter that fits on an automatic transmission that enables u to put a manual shift knob on. Does anyone have one of these or know anything about it? o and how hard is it to put a shift boot on an auto?

I just put one on my car last weekend, piece of cake!!! But you'll have to cut your shifter down a bit otherwise it will be too tall.

I know this is a stupid question but what did u use to cut it with?

Has anyone ever put a shift boot on an automatic. I know that corvettes have them but i would like to do it to my bird is it possible?

I used a dremel to cut the metal and becareful not to cut the white pastic in the middle. After you cut the metal, I cut 1 1/2 inches off and then trim off the necssary amout of the white deal. I know it is possible to put a shift boot on but i heard it's a pain in the *** , alot of custom work. But i'll be trying later this summer.

I put a shifter boot on mine a while back. Someone on this board was making them at one time, but I'm not sure what I did with his email adress, which I know doesn't help much, but it is possible. Here is a pic...

RdBrd83's shifter looks worse than the stock one. That big ol dangly thing on the side. I like the stock one its not that bad. [img]smile.gif[/img] Theres my 2 cents

Well I'd have to agree that the shifter handle is ugly, but that's Pontiacs fault. [img]smile.gif[/img] The pic was to show that you can put a leather boot on it, instead of just having the exposed metal bar.

there is a company, I posted it here before, that makes A4 knobs look like corvette's, and anyone that works on a 'vette will work, they look so bad *** , I'm gonna get one real quick, they just came out like 4 months ago, search the appearance forum for like auto shift boot or knob or something like that, it has been posted before.

I ditched my t handle push button firebird shifter in favor of a leather push button c4 vette handle.
Take a look in my sig and you can see a pic I think
All I did was remove the staple in front of the handle, pull the shifter handle up, push the new one on and stick that staple back in

what is the webaddress for the site to purchase this item. I must agree that the firebird auto shifter handle looks like Sh!t


Thanks
