Default Gear Shift ****

I purchased one of the red and black leather gear shif ***** for a six speed, however I have an automatic so I had to purchase the adapter kit to install it. Has any one here done that and is it as strong as the original ****? Are you happy with it? Thanks

A friend of mine has one that I recommended that he pick up from Ecklers to mount his new MOMO shift ****. And, it works well. BTW, thanks for sharing the great pic, "JeepTJ". Enjoy.
