ive asked this before, yes you can use any manual shiftknob that will fit on the shifter pole (or whatever its called). ours just unscrews and the new one will screw on, or use small adapter pieces. since our shift ***** dont have any buttons, a manual one will work just fine.

He is right. Since there is no click and release on the handle you can use a manual ****.

i mean, we already have a manual style shift ****...changing it to another manual style shift **** isnt really gonna change much except the appearance of the ****. they arent using a leather shift boot to cover the automatic area to give off the stick illusion.
