You don't need a new one. If you can get the leather to kind of clamp in between the bezel and the shifter base, you are set. Otherwise you need to find a way to attach the shift boot to the bezel itself. I'm sure people just buy a manual bezel in order to make the process a little easier, but it is more money that way.

I would just buy a white shift ****. Paint is gonna get eaten alive by all the oils in your skin and being handled all the time. If you really want to change the color of that ****, the best thing would be to take it apart, and have it prepped and powdercoated.

Hell no, any momentary switch will do. Go to your parts store or hardware store and find a nice momentary switch that you like the look of. Mine cost me like $3.59

No worries, I hadn't seen anyone fix the stock shifter "problem" so I figured I would

Let us know how it turns out
