Ha, well I thought i'd ask if there is a shifter skirt made for an Auto tranny, I think it'd be cool. My friend has one on his Grand Am GT so that where I got the idea.

Re: Shifter skirt on an Auto?
i always thought it was kind of poserish, puttin a boot on an auto...like tryin to make an auto stick look like a manual shifter...
if would proabably take a little fabbing to get one to work on an Fbody, since the only real "track" it could go in is really narrow
Edit: i have to admit, nowadays the booted look is startin to grow on me, now that i've really improved my interior alotLast edited by 95astrovan; 06-18-2008, 05:32 AM.

Re: Shifter skirt on an Auto?
Got my shifter boot and shift knob out of a Grand Prix. Swapped right in.
Ignore the messy looking forward part of the console. That's since been taken care of.<b>1995 Pontiac Firebird</b> || 3.4L V6

Re: Shifter skirt on an Auto?
I think it cleans up the look somewhat. Some luxury cars come with shift boots for manuals and automatics. Don't think it would be poser-like, just something different.
And manually shifting an automatic... that's just dumb. Only time that should be done is if the transmission is unable to shift on its own.'99 Camaro

Re: Shifter skirt on an Auto?
I used the shift handle and boot from a late model Grand Am on mine. Got it dirt cheap from the wrecking yard. All I did to make it suit me a little more is cut out the plastic piece that keeps it spread out in the middle, and replace the rubber o-ring around the top with a ziptie to keep it in place. Otherwise it went in with no trouble. And I like the feeling of the shift handle alot better, and the boot helps clean up the look a little. I know some people on here say it looks "poserish". It's all a matter of opinion though. Alot of automatic equipped cars come with shifter boots.
