I'm not seeing a reason why any **** wouldn't work. I'm going to buy a nice cheaper **** and try to make it work.

Hey Phil,

actually I've been out of those shifters for a few months now and what I sold to Roger is gone too. Reason for going ahead and making our own.

Keep an eye out for some new threads on the subject. We have a new partial insert coming out as well that will tie all of this together, with the new *****, boots etc.

Carl has a kickdown "enhancement" that will work with the side button and a top button shifter. It's just me, but the top button seems less ergonomic.

Picked up Jager eng'g carbon fiber shifter back 5-6 years ago, don't know if he still carries this model. Very comfortable and classy looking IMHO...

Bob, your car looks WAY to clean man! What a beauty and you are correct that shifter looks quite at home in your car.

Paul, I can't wait to see what is next!!

Okay, I've read through a number of automatic shifter **** threads. This may be a dumb question, but my Shark is only the second automatic transmission car I've owned (the first being my Cayenne): Will any aftermarket shifter work, as long as it includes some way to depress the lock button? I want a simple black pistol grip in some sort of plastic and metal, and I don't want or need to spend a pile of money for it.

Do you mean this?

928 DIY -Shift Plate Cover/Full Leather Boot
[A665-DIY] $103.95 (USD)

http://www.jageng.com/garage9/popup_...ID=123&image=0
Do It Yourself Shift Plate Cover and Full Leather boot kit comes with everything you need to upgrade your shift plate assembly (shifter not included).

The component kit requires removal of the shift plate, separating the metal bottom plate, and reassembly - about a 60 minute installation procedure.
Choose from many materials including brushed aluminum, authentic woods and carbon weaves.

Hehe, I had to click "see ignored persons post" to see the comments by one of our fun guys.

4 years on mine and still love it. Only had one person think it was a 5 speed and it was entertaining watching him try to find neutral.

The color is wearing off on the top of mine as I think that it was a spray gray job instead of using vat dyed leather, but still, I love it. I'll get it re-covered when I send my steering wheel in for the same thing.

I also have one of Jager's shift *****. Mine is polished aluminum and leather.

I'll trade for a stock T handle, but I won't be back in Vegas till the 1st week of November. If anyone wants to trade let me know.
