Default Aluminium Shift ****

Hi folks,

I'd like to sharpen up the look of my gear shift **** cap. Anyone know of an Aluminium one (or similar) with the 5 speed pattern that I can buy?

Thanks!

I would like a skull shift **** with the shift pattern on top and the eyes light up red.

No man, you want one with green light up eyes! Everyone knows red ones are for dragsters.

You can get a stainless steel shift **** top from Rennbay, but I don't know about the whole ****.

Good call Jason, that's what came to my mind. I had this exact one at one time too.

Speaking of eyes lighting up; I was following a pickup yesterday that had an unusual hitch ball cover. It was a large mouth bass, about 12" long, w/the ball in its mouth. When this guy hit the brakes the fish's eyes lit up red and he wiggled! You wouldn't need a shift pattern button if you had one of these.

If you are only looking for the shift **** cap/insert as stated, try the following link.

www.rennbay.com has them as well!

Thanks Caster... I think I'll just go for the cap... although the exotics with the green/red eyes are appealing! It would be good if its red... then flashes green when its the optimum time to change gear! That should make everyone happy!

I use a billet shifter for a 993. Removed the boot and installed a 944 boot.

BTW, in the summer, it gets REALLY hot.

I think you should go for the fish. Program it so it flops at maximum shift points!!

Or maybe just the skull w/the eyes as previuosly suggested!

Funny, a 951 here had that.........

Untill a British gentleman purchased the car, returned the stock shifter (thankfully).
