do you guys prefer Levo or Razo **** shifters for automatic? I'm thinking of purchasing one but not sure which one to get. Do the **** shifters eliminate the function of Overdrive?

The Levoc shifter for the automatic at custommaxima doesnt eliminate the overdrive function. dunno about Razo..but levoc looks pretty good to me.

I know that the Levoc ones have an overdrive button on them that you can use. I don't know about the Razo ones though. Also, the Levoc ones sit a little high on the shifter column. Y2KevSE has a pic of his on his Cardomain website. I'm not too sure about the Razo ones though...I don't know anyone who has these on a 5th gen.

Do you guys use Levoc shifters? If so, how do u like them?

i've got the chrome/chrome model. I like it. install is a pain, but worth it to me.

check my homepage for pics.

Razo on a 4th gen.

It's not worth the $115 that I paid for it. And I didn't really like how the Levoc looks. Too thin for me.

If I were to do it all over again, I would keep the stock shifter. But I keep the Razo on cause I paid $115 for it. If I don't use it, I feel like I've blown $115.

Is the installation process difficult? any cutting or wiring? or is it like plug N play?

Thanks for the extra information~

is there any way that u can elimante the use of the button to shift on an auto? Because ive seen an accord once, auto tranny, and to shift, u just had to push down on the shifter... i thought it was phat.

You could do it... but you would have to do a little customizing and get creative with the shifter.

Actually, you can do that either on purpose or by mistake. With the Razo shifter (at least on a Civic 4G, no overdrive) the new shift handle slides down the shaft, and the lockout button sits on top rather than on the side.

If you slide it down too far and overtighten the allen head hold-downs, it will push down on the lockout mechanism and keep it permanently disengaged. Neat, yes. Poor-man's tiptronic? maybe. Dangerous? defintely.

Hope this helps,

can the OD switch be rewired away from the shifter onto like a rocker switch or something, so that we can have a more variety of shifters we can replace with. cuz i really wanna go with the pseudo-5spd look.

clee130

Yes you can. One 4th gen on the Org has pictures of his setup.

It's not that it doesn't look good, it's the fact that it's $115 and the material feels kind of cheap. It's not worth that much money and I feel disappointed in the product.

And it's easier to powershift with a stock shifter, IMHO.

thanks for your honest opinion. i may consider another shifter then.

If you can find it for less than $115, which is extremely unlikely, I would say go for it.

But I looked high and low and $115 was as low as I could find it (at http://www.optauot.com).

the thing is, if you don't like it cause it looks kinda cheap because of the material, i don't know if i'd put it on even if it cost $25...

clee130

lol ... ok, it isn't that cheap. But putting your hand around a Razo and then putting your hand around a Levoc, the Razo "feels cheaper".

The Razo is a nice looking shifter. I just didn't like how the Levoc looked, that's all. It's just a matter of opinion. So I decided to get the Razo.

But I'm sure you could buy a nice looking shifter for a 5 speed and rig up a switch for the o/d.
