Automatic Shift *****...Expensive...

Doesn't seem like there are too many nice options out there..
The only one that I like is the Razo one.. but can't justify spending over $100 on a shift ****..

Even the OBX version of it is expensive.. $79.95..?


Yet I really want one..
Anyone else feel this way?

After installing the Razo, I felt that the stock shifter was much better. I could grip it easier and/or rest my arm on it better than the Razo.

And the finish on the Razo is definately not worth the $100+ you spend on it.

Hmm.. never thought about resting my hand on it. Would simply resting your hand on it press the button?
The Razo matches my interior though..

Nope, you have the press the button down in order to move the shifter. In fact, the O/D button is too small.

I have small hands and even I had to use the tip of my thumb to push in the O/D button.

Why not just get this one Ichibahn Automatic Shift **** and relocate the O/D switch, if I recall correctly this was done by Vyrus. Better than a Levoc in my opinion.

I had the Razo shifter on my '97 Altima, and in my opinion it was not worth the $120 I spent on it. The shifter is made out of plastic. Although many people noticed it (**coolness factor**) I was not happy at all with the quality for $120

btw, it was higher than i wanted but where the three screws hold it in, i lowered it down and only screwed in the top screw to the bottum hole(i hope that makes sense). made it a little lower so i like it much better.

Re: Automatic Shift *****...Expensive...

Whatever you do, don't buy the Razo. I have one and it is a piece of plastic crap. They say it's aluminum, it isn't. The top lock button has already popped off due to a piece of the plastic clip that broke. $125.00 down the drain. I think that I am going to go with the Levoc or go back to the stock T handle.
