Anyone try this automatic shift knob for sale on EBAY?

I was thinking of getting it to replace the worn original knob. Just wondering if it really fit all that well.

That may say "Nissan 240Z" shift knob in the ad but it's looks kind of universal (and rice-ish) to me. Personally, I'd steer clear.

I'd steer clear just because of how it looks... (ugly little sucker)

Yea, it looks pretty universal to me. Might not be designed to fit perfectly. The description says it also comes with an overdrive button... hmmm..

On the other hand, that 'overdrive' button could be wired into who knows what. Could be a handy but unobtrusive place for a foglight switch, or ????

Could wire it into the kick down switch so you don't need to mash your foot all the way to the floor to make the car drop a gear

What I would really like to do is adapt the manual type knob to it. Give it a more period look without the big T handle which is really badly worn.

If you could figure out what to to about the button........

PM TomoHawk, he had the same idea/desire years ago-and posted a picture of what he did somewhere...

IIRC, it was from some type of Chrysler product. Rather large, sort of oval shaped like the knob in my wife's HHR. Seemed to look out of place...IMO.

Thanks Will-

I used the shifter knob from a recent model Dodge Intrepid ( or Stratus, etc.) because the button is on the front instead of the top.

The shifter knob from something like a Range Rover Freelander, which is a little smaller ( about tthe size of the wood manual shifter knob), but I can't get one from a JY, and the Whole assy is over $200 from the dealer, and they won't tell you what makes it work so I won't be getting one at $200 just to look inside.

If you look at the rest of his store, he has the same knob listed for a Lotus Europa. There was never an auto Europa, or a Lambo Miura, or a Ferrari F50
