the nicest looking auto shifter is the levoc, CM used to sell it....guess not any more. The coolest **** is the razo quick shift....no buttons at all, just push down to shift gears. Need to wire in a switch for the O/D. Looks like a manual shifter.

on the LEVOC shift ****. It's the only choice, IMO. Try www.southwestautoworks.com and/or www.liquid-ink.com . If Liquid ink doesn't have them, email and ask if they can get it. SOme things they get are not listed on the site.

I'd be really interested to hear from anybody that is using the Razo Quickshifter. Right ups on how to rig the OD button would be cool too.

Nismo had the quick shift when he was an auto.

Borrowed from Araffio's page, the levoc:
He cut the stock shifter lever down so it didnt stick up. Thats the Levoc ebrake cover too.

Hey, Im selling my Quickshift so Pm me if you want it. My OD button, I used a nitrous toggle flip switch to turn off overdrive. I now have a 5speed an nitrous so my "od" button is really for nitrous now. lol.


rewiring OD is really simple, theres only 2 wires on it and just connect the 2 wires to any on/off switch and thats all there is to it.

I was going to take a close up of my Levoc, but araffio's pic shows it pretty good. Mine is there same. Make sure you do the e-brake handle cover too. looks 10x better with both.

This page has pictures of the different finishes that you can get for the levoc.

levoc CF

1MAX2NV,

Those triple gauges are nice, did you use a modified HKS din panel for those?

Anyhow, here are my three sawed levoc pics:





Sadly all the carbon fiber, including the levoc ebrake, shifter and dash kit are all fake carbon fiber patterns.

Nice pics. How did you get to sawing it? Did you have to take the WHOLE center console apart or just around the shifter? Also, where did you saw it at location wise? I'm gauging interest in maybe doing this for myself too. Not sure how hard it is/will be though. *shruggs shoulders*

You don't have to take the entire console apart. Just take off the oem shifter, slide on the aftermarket shifter and mark where you'd want it to sit. Then use a small diameter pipe cutter and go at it. I took about 1.5" off mine iirc. There's also a metal rod in the middle of the shifter cylinder, and I took a corresponding 1.5" off that one as well. After that just drill a hole for the new shifter's screw and plug it all up and you're set.

You are correct. It's a HKS din panel with the holes enlarge to fit autometer gauges.

I did the same thing except I didn't shorten it as much so I could reuse the bottom hole as the top hole on the shifter.

Nice
Was it an easy swap between the two, or did you have to modify it somehow? Either way... well worth the effort.

Thats the point really. I bet he fooled tons of people until they saw the non existant clutch pedal. Looks rather nice to me.

shifter

sounds like a dumb question but is there any reason that you could not cut the oem shifter down
Thanks
