the stick on the AT of a 2003 p5

Hi guys,


I just got my 2003 p5 (yesterday) very happy with that.

But i have a question.

I got an automatic transmission....and in mine, the stick isnt straight. In fact, the stick is pointing right....

I hope you guys are going to understand....

well, otherwise, i will post some pics and try to explain..

New p5 owner in Canada.

Do you have the regular shifter or the sports shift one?

I think that's normal. Since it's not straight shift like most of the car it has to go through the jagged slot which makes it look "Not straight". Unless you are having problem shifting then you should be okay. Besides you just got the car right??

have no fear!

hello there VPower,

don't worry about it! the shift **** is actually removeable, so if it's pointing to the right, keep turning it to see if it can get any tighter. if not, then swing it back to the left to see if that straightens it out. i've actually taken the whole shift **** off to see if i can get an aftermarket for it, but decided otherwise (for now). don't worry about it, it's perfectly normal. (unless it's broken!)
