Ok I read up on the previous posts regarding automatic gear shift ***** and I just want to make sure that I understand my options.

I have a 5.5 gen Max. I don't have an overdrive button on my automatic gear shift ****. See Below:



I would like to see about having my current **** resprayed but only if it's cost effective and safe.

Since I don't have to worry about a overdrive button, can I also use unmarked manual stick shift ***** that may fit my decor better than the stock one?



This is one of the automatic ***** I am looking at:


Thanks

 

i might be wrong but i thought they twist off lik manual shift *****?

 

yea they do. just buy a manual ****. the stock **** is on WAY too tight and they use an adhesive, so its hard to take off bare handed, so wrap a towel around it and use vicegrips or channel locks to twist it off

 

So are you saying that I can buy a manual **** for my automatic 5.5? I was hoping that was the case!

Please tell me it's true!!! There were a couple of manual ***** that I really liked such as the one below:



It looks pretty similar to my stock ****. Any reason why I shouldn't give this one a try?

 

I have one in my garage, brand new, I think from an Infiniti M. It looks much like your OEM **** but black leather (silver bottom). I'd be happy to sell it if you want. I ended up not using it.

 

how many miles on your ride? just curious how long it took to look like that.

 

Hehe.. Believe it or not Kev, I just reached 61k on it yesterday..lol!

I used to drive sticks all the time I do push the car hard at times. My right hand is always on the stick shift mind you.

It's an eye soar because the rest of the interior is mint..smh!

 

wow. I have black interior on mine and try to keep it clean and conditioned for fear of it drying out and cracking.

 

Hey Kev. I don't know if you know about this or not but I am going to let you in on what I use to keep my interior looking like it does. I found this link on this great forum and have never looked back.

Enjoy.

comments like these make me nervous. I didn't go through the whole thread, so there may be some success stories with black interiors.

I use maguires cleaner/conditioner and it works great. leaves me with a new car smell, too.

I'm sure the Mr. Clean things can clean hundreds of other stuff though, so good lookin' out. I hadn't heard of them before.

 

I see what you mean. If it ain't broke, don't fix it eh?

I'm going to look into it a little more but I have never had a problem with it. Then again, my leather isn't black either.

 

I have that **** and matching ebrake cover. I've had it 5+ years with no problems.

 

I have the fake wood shifter on my I35 and the plastic is flaking off....kinda annoying...but i can't find those shift ***** for sale anywhere

 

Oh, Mr. Wet, I have one of these ***** too. But it's black/chrome like erty's. Brand new, unused. I'd be willing to sell it.



But I don't think you want one because you don't need the OD button like the 4th gens do, right?

 

Thanks to everyone who responded. In regards to the shift ****, I really would like to have wood in the finish of my shift ****.

 

how much? wouldn't mind a spare

 

It's literally brand new. How about 70% (shipped) of the cheapest price you can find on the web? I can't remember what I paid but I bought it from CM/CE years ago.

 

I can't find them on the web

 

Ah, I see. Hmm... what did you pay for yours? I'll try to see if I can find my receipt this weekend to see what I paid.

 

I coincidentally am cleaning out my garage this weekend. I found the Levoc shift **** we were talking about, I found the black stitched leather over silver Infiniti **** I told you guys about and I found another **** I totally forgot about. It's all wood. I bought it for my 1990 Audi 100 over 10 years ago. It was very hard to track down because I wanted Zebrano wood to match the rest of the Audi's interior. I think it's meant for a Mercedes. I'd be happy to sell it to you cheap Mr. Wet but I am guessing you won't want it since the striped Zebrano wood doesn't match your darker marble wood. Here's a picture of all three *****:



erty, I couldn’t find my receipt for the Levoc **** but check this out, it looks like there is a guy on e-bay selling one for $29 shipped! That's a heck of a deal. I can't remember what I paid for mine but I'm thinking somewhere between $50 and $100. Mr. Wet, you might try contacting him because he does say he has white and CF as well as black. So there's a chance he can get wood. Good luck guys.

 

would you be interested in the same price? I'd rather give the $ to an org member.

 

Sure, that's fine erty. I didn't expect to take that big of a hit - but it is just sitting in my garage. So $30 is better than nothing. I guess we can go to PM now...

Thanks, Josh

 

I think you should go with the cherry **** at the top. Black won't really go with your interior.


Just my opinion.
