Hey hey, come on now, this is a 'G' rated forum. I don't think this is the place for making such requests.

I have a RAZO... got a metal dowel from Home Depot and used a 1" piece to fil the gap between the lock shaft and the button on the ****... I really don't have heat issues for some reason...



and I love how it reflects the blue interior lights...

The only problem that I have seen with those shift adapters is that it makes the shifter stick up higher then the radio because it adds another inch to the damn thing. IMO, way tall shifters don't look to sporty


The model I have (same as pictured above except mine is the polished version) actually shortens the auto shifter a tad.
