Default Flameball Shift ****

Has anyone installed a Flameball shift **** on their automatic transmission shifter?

I bought one from them, once posted the results can't find the pictures, in another computer no longer have, but can tell you know nobody liked it on the forum, I did, I thought it looked great but you have to do is modify it little to make it work cause something I don't remember didn't work well. When you are done you need buy another shifter boot, and have custom made cause the one you have will be short cause you have extend the shaft couple inches higher so the shaft is showing, and doesn't look right.

There is a vender here that sells shifter boots and you get them custom made from them. I think they are called Redline.

Thanks. I want to change the **** but it is difficult to find anyone who makes an after market **** for the automatics. I emailed Flameball and they claim it will work.

There ***** works, don't get me wrong but it doesn't look right with your boot. I just had my **** re-holstered in red to match the red boot installed, and gave up and left that way.

Gene is a nice guy to do business with. I also have a blue Flameball on my '96. The auto ball took about six weeks. The regular ball only took two....
