Default Auto Shift *****

Anyone have any aftermarket auto shift ***** on? I have an 86 and was wondering how it might look.

WhatEVER you do, don't get a flameball.

Please?

(and if you do, please don't post a picture of it on here. My stomach can't take much more..........)

I have a Carbon Fiber, but no pics. Kinda gaudy but better than the beat up OEM.

The reason I put you onto Flameball is because you are EXTREMELY limited in choices for the automatic. If you bother to look you'll see that Flameball also makes 8-***** and other opaque colors. Also for the other nay-sayer about Flameball up there....I suppose you've got something better on your car. so let's see a picture..............

there are seriously like 3 other options: New OEM, carbon fiber, or wood grain. The flame ***** look sweet.

If the flame ball lights up as orange, that might look good with the later model dashes that are orange.

Hey- I do alot of hanging with motorheads and I have more people ask me about my shift **** and where I got it from than just about ANYTHING else on the car. Thus, this picture is especially for you......

How does the flame ball with a button look? does it basically just have a hole in the top of it?

Hi- Go on the web site I put up in the earlier post and look around. They show some pictures of the auto set up. Remember to look around there, they make other styles than the "FLAMEBALL" that they can machine for your stick.
