That's funny... I was thinking about getting a custom made shifter ball that says "Autos Suck 'cuz Manuals are SO MUCH MORE FUN TO DRIVE" but the ball would have be too big...

HaHa I just answered your PM and then I see this. I've had some medical issues and didn't see the swap meet. But I'll be out when I can. Thanks.

I'm still waiting for a replacement part for my manual shifter that makes it look like an auto. Weird that there's no market for it....

Anyway been waiting for someone to come out with a shifter that replaces the cheap looking stock T handle. Now I dont think that it looks all that bad but it just looks really cheap.

TCI has the ratchet shifter but I do not see much of a benefit and it kind of looks ugly.

Anyway just happened upon a new product the other day. This replaces your T handle with a reqular shift handle and a boot. This way you can run a standard shift ****. Anyway figure I would try it out and would let other folks know there is an option.

Funny you linked that as I just talked with a new member on here that was trying to sell one!

Funny thing, I typed in my zip and found out that guy is 3 miles from my house.

I'll have to go check it out.

Yeah he is close to me as well and I believe we have crossed paths!
