They sell shifter tops and buttons, Just gotta make it work. I suggest going down to the local ricer aisle of your local pepboys.

Autofaiiilll. Even if I had a daily driver, it'd be a manual.

I DO daily a 5 speed.. what exactly would be so difficult about it? So far I haven't died or ended up in a ditch. If anything driving a manual forces you to focus on your surroundings and vehicle more, making your commute safer and more enjoyable.

I daily one too. Of course I'm not 16 yet, but it's my daily for the next 5 years or so. And manuals are a bit better than autofails. You are right it helps you focus on surroundings and the vehicle. Automatic brings laziness to a whole nother level. Plus manuals get a bit better gas mileage. Seriously OP think of doing a manual swap.

I don't see anything wrong with him wanting to daily an automatic? I just converted my car to a manual and I would rather drive a manual over an automatic any day, but I don't see anything wrong with him driving it for his daily driver if he's happy with it. He would have to drive his car for a pretty long time before the manual transmission swap would finally pay off for saving gas....actually a very long time.

As for redoing your interior, why not get some vinyl type paint and just repaint your stock one?

stop bumping. Take the shifter off and order one / get one what will fit it / end thread

[roadboy240sx]

WOW, not quite the post i would expect from a mod.

ok i was just seeing if someone had done it before.

I made a thread a year or so ago about this thing for my girlfriends car, and i got the same BS that you did about "why have a auto" as of right now we just have a 5spd center console with a recoved shift boot and it makes it look a little better, i have a broke autoshifter i will be taking apart to try and figure out a way to make a differant shifter go on it. I'm hoping to get a big pink dildo one made up for my girlfriend's car for christmas....i'll let ya know how it goes.

see that's more helpful.

With this shifter though, is there a Reverse lockout? is there any buttons or just press the brake and shift it out of gear?

Haha, how ironic that the picture posted ^ is from the mod's car that told you to quit bumping this thread (OutToWinPAHC).

Anyways, a manual transmission does get a little old for daily driving or in a car that's not meant to be "fun." ESPECIALLY in stop and go traffic. That sucks. Even more if you're on an incline.

That my car, and that shifter wont work. Its a for a GM TH series and thats all.

I got tired of my OEM shifter and found this Navan on ebay. Pretty easy to install. If you get a shifter from Pep Boys ( ), you may need to relocate the O/D button. IDK.....

well this isnt a big upgrade but i pulled a shifter from a 93 Maxima. I like it better than my old shifter. the only diff is that its leather and is stitched.

Just do the 5 speed swap. Problem solved and it's more fun to drive.

There's a really cool thread about a paddle shifted auto 240 somewhere on NICO.
