Default automatic shift **** replacement

I know there are aftermarket shift ***** for the manual, but are there any for the auto?

Thanks.

I have not found anything, I think you're pretty much stuck with the stock shifter...thres other threds on this and nothing ever surfaced from the aftermarket.,..you would think Scion would come up with something, I mean they have diffrent steering wheels, why not different auto shifters?

Does the automatic have an overdrive button? I had a Momo Automatico shift **** on one of my old cars (that didn't have one) and it looked really good... I still have it laying around in a box somewhere.

Good Question. I was wondering the same thing.

How about a template that changes the colors from Green to Blue for the forward gears on the shifter and the dash?

yeah, it has overdrive on it....

the only thing I can think of is a slip on and off housing thats available in different colors and of course CF!!

but, if they havn't made it yet I highly doubt they will ever surface..Maybe we can talk to the legendary fabricator Gary Nish to make some :D :D

The problem with the auto in the xB is you need two buttons, one for the shift locking mechanism and one for the O/D. I've yet to find a simple replaement for it. I recall a thread from a while back where the guy just relocated the O/D switch onto the center floor console and was then able to get the single button Auto shift **** and boot it to look like a stick. I've got a different idea I'm cooking that will get around the problem and hopefully look trick as hell, but i can't talk about that until it is executed... :twisted:

I don't think that will work for autos. No OD button.

I'm making a leather cover for mine. Pics soon.

I replaced mine with a dope Razo auto shifter with o/d button. Wasn't too hard. You just have to be willing to cut the wires going to the original **** and splice to the new one. One problem was that the "action" on the Razo **** is different in that you need to click it up and down (two clicks) to turn on or off. What I did was to splice another set of wires and run the OEM button to the space below my ebrake. Both buttons work. I actually like the position of the OEM button where it is now. I have the jj products arm rest so my hand hangs down right where the button is. I'll post a picture latter. BTW I got mine at a small shop in China Town in LA, but I think you can get these at Super Autobacs etc.

What would be nice is a plain white cue ball **** with the button almost flush on top, like cars in the '60s. OK, black too. And aluminum.

Since I always have the overdrive on, that button could be in the spare tire well for all I care.

Just got off the phone with autobacs.. seems the Napolex ***** work too, website at: http://www.napolex.com/*****.html
preview here, more colors/finishes on the web link above:

Pushbutton on top for the lock out detent, button on the side for OD.. guy at autobacs said Razo was going to discontinue the RA91. they have the RA92 available though.. (difference is black insert on the 91, carbon fiber on the 92)
