I have begun importing these shift ***** and boots from Germany -

The **** and one-piece leather boot is premium glove leather, and the 5-speed shift pattern is illuminated in LED's to match our dash lights. Very trick!

It's shorter than the stock shift **** - but not so short as to be a problem. Sometimes when the very short late-model ***** are applied to the early transmissions, the cars become a little clunky to shift because you have lost all your leverage. I've driven a 1984 with this **** and it still shifts nice because it gives you enough leverage to get it done.

Also - the **** comes with silicone-rubber vibration isolators, making it just the little bit more comfy.

I have two in stock, more on their way. Black only.

I have one of those in my 87. Very well built.

Very cool.

I'm guessing there is a replaceable battery in the top of the shifter that illuminates the LEDs?

The LEDs are always on or activated by a light sensor?

Two little wires come out from the bottom of the ****. Splice it in to your ashtray light... comes on when you turn on your lights...

Adam - for those that want to know, how long did it take you to install the shift boot and ****?

Mongo

That is awesome.

I wish I could illuminate the shift plate numbers on my auto.

Not long, the hardest part was removing the old ****. I wired the LED to the light in the ashtray.

Probably 2 hours total, but I could see someone doing it in 1 hour.

FYI I have put about 7k on my car since installing it. I love the feel vs the old stock **** and so far no visible wear at all.

I like. Has anyone tried one with a Lizzard shifter?

Kevin in Atlanta

That already exists. Had it on my 86.5 back in the day. I got mine from 928 Specialists.

Have not got the chance to install mine on my Lizard shifter but I cannot see any issue...

Nice. Approximately how much shorter is this than a stock '83 shifter?

There are a few threads out there that discuss how to do this.

Jager Engineering used to carry a kit for the automatics:

I believe there are one or two DIY threads also, from when there were no kits available (as may be the case now).
(Edit: What Randy said!)

Mongo

I forgot about those Jager kits. Thanks!

Have one on the GT. Didn't think 10$ for an LED was worth it. I know my shift pattern.... ;-)

Good quality easy to fit.
