Yesterday I bought this shift knob from the internet for about $150 shipped.

http://www.carmate.co.jp/razo/photo_big/ra91-b01.jpg

It's from Japan, the Razo RA 91 titanium...match perfectly with our xA titanium finish interior. With overdrive too.

But the thing is, I dont even know how to install it. :?

Guys, please help me out. thanks a lot.

there is a DIY for a custom auto shifter for the toyota echo on a different forum, the echo's shifter LOOKS pretty similar to the xA's, so its up to you.
i don't know if this will help, but it may be better than nothing:

so does that mean its not possible to change the auto shifter without having to place the OD button elswhere...

cuz i wanna try n find an auto shifter replacement that can still house the od button as well, so its less to install and switch around.

any answers?? lol

looks like the OD is the small button behind the big shift-lock button. . . man I know the OEM knob is bad, but you guys like that look more? I'm not trying to be a smart @ss, but am serious. . .
