Ugly Automatic Shifter
Hi all, Im new here. I have an 03 GT converible that I am now about to start some mild mods, exhaust, k&n, etc. Is there anything out there that will replace the stock automatic shift lever? What I like to cal the giraffe? Something about it makes me hate it more everytime I see it.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Norm

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks Everybody for your comments,
If I were to put the silver shift **** from MGW on do you think I could cut the shaft of the stock shifter a bit?

The handle button is actually part of a 2" long plastic stalk that has an round indentation in it. When the button on the shifter handle is not pressed the indentation sits centered on top of the plastic button on the shifter shaft. This allows the button on the shaft to remain fully extended and keeps the shifter locked in place.
When you press the button on the handle, you push the indentation off of the shaft button. This action presses the shaft button down and allows you to shift out of park and into the other gears. So long story short, if you cut the shaft, you lose the shaft button therefore losing the ability to shift out of park. If you get the O/D button, you will have to cut the rubber sleeve. Sorry for the long story. Hope this helps.
Oh, by the way, I have the MGW auto shifter in chrome with the running pony. It's awesome.
