Now I have looked around and cant seem to find any replacement for the stock automatic shift knob. Is there anything out that I just havnt found?? It's not that I dislike the stock but ya know if you can change it why not. My boss has a PT Cruiser and just got a cool AT shift knob for his car and that got me to thinking. Anyone seen or have anything other than a stock knob.... hehe :P knob (j/k had to do it)

i used a Razo on my old car! quick shift automatic knob all you do is push the knob down instead of pushing a button, i unfortunatly am not 100% sure if if will work on a XB but they say there are a universal fit! here is a link for the one i had!

Here's mine...its a MOMO Automatico with a MOMO Elegance shift boot...

you have to relocate the OD switch (any push button will do) and you have to cut out some of the top plastic switch lever to make the shift knob sit in right. funny as hell when the dealer looks for the clutch :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: or when they check if its in neutral.

That looks good CRxB!

I was thinking of one of these made by OBX:
It's the one at the very bottom called the OBX O/D Hammer Sport A/T and the the OBX Tomcat Gear Shift Knob A/T that's kinda towards the middle of the page. Both have a built in OD button. But I don't know how it works or if it even would work. But that's the company that's makes the pedels for our xB's.

Does anyone know if any of these AT shift knobs will lower the height if the shifter? I seem to bump my knee into it often and would love it if i could get a lower one.
If not, do you think the shifter itself could be cut down? that would be sweet to have the shifter an inch above the shift box.

Not sure but that would be sweet if they did. My GF bumps it all the time.

I saw those OBX shift knobs too Razo also has something like the tomcat. but IMO it looks so big for our boxes. but if you want to fool people with you shifter I would go for the hammer cause it looks like a regular shift knob. the OD button on those are really a plus, so you don't have to relocate like I did. as far as hiiting the damn thing with my stock one I did too but with my MOMO I don't recall hitting it anymore(forgot I even hit it before) cause the shape of the knob is strait now!

lowpromofo I thought you would have been done with this mod too by now? I see your still doing your homework eh....nice find about the hammer :wink:

hopethis helps,
