Auto Shift Knobs...
 
Does anyone know of any place that has retro-style auto shift knobs? Other than flameball. Trying to find the perfect shift knob for Mayhem.

Also, I prefer t-style to the regular round ones, but i'll use either.

it doesn't have to be stock.Juat aomething that has a retro look to it. They do make ones for autos that don't use a button, you push on the whole knob, but I don't like the styles of those ones.

I might just get a knob off an F-Body like this till I find the perfect knob:

Man, I really want one of those Flameballs.....

Did you scrap that idea Danielle?

You can get an adapter spring from one of the shift knob companies (Don't remember where, though, just remember seeing it) where it's basically a spring that a manual shifter mounts to... you press down on the shift knob and it's like pressing the button down on the shift knob.

yeah, but all the companies I've seen that have the 'kit' only give it to you when you buy one of their knobs.

Not exactly, I'd really like to have on, just not sure how it'll look with the new look or not, plus the cost is really holding me back. I'll always like this knob. But for $95, I just don't have that kind of money, you know?

this one is sorta retro, and $68. But it doesn't light up.

this one isn't too bad either, for $64, but its just not right for the look.

so guess what that means... someone with a stickshift buy the stickshift and say it's an automatic, so they give you the adapter, and then we can buy it off you. :D

97z2801ss Jul 25, 2005 12:32 PM

Yea, I know.....they're pretty pricey. I have a Flameball on my "auto wish list", heh.
