i recently got a shift **** that is for my automatic tranny protege, and i was able to take out my old shift ****, but the thing is, is that the bar that comes up to shift, has 2 screw holes in a straight line, but, the new shift **** has 3 holes all around. how can i get this shift **** to fit?

i think i have 2 choices to choose from. either to mark the places where the 3 holes are, then drill a hole through those places and then have it fit. or, i can find some kind of rubber/plastic adaptor thing that i can fit over the stick, then have the **** fit over it very tight so it doesnt move later on. i dont really know what i should do. any of you have ideas? any other options i have? thanks!

 

not familiar with auto sticks but if hte problem is you cant tighten the **** down tight enough then get some electrical tape and wrap it around the stick really tightly because it gets soft when warm and screw the **** on the tape. bascially just making the stick thicker.

 

mmm, that may work, but the thing is that the **** does not screw down onto the stick. the **** goes onto the stick, then you have to screw in a few screws horizontally into the stick. thanks for the suggestion ^^

 

oooh, nevermind! i got it, i didnt know the screws are supposed to just bolt onto the existing stick. i thought it had to go through another screw hole. hehe, thanks for the help though, i will take your advise! thx

hey do u have any pics and if so what did u do for the hold button did u remove it or what thanks get back to me

 

well, you can do one of 2 things. you can get a shift **** that has the overdrive button built in with it (which i have only seen one or two kinds, and kinda ugly if u ask me), or get any other shift ****. with the overdrive button, you can cut the wire (make sure that the negative end of the battery is off), and go to a radioshack or any electronics store and buy a switch. you can then rewire the overdrive button to the switch. good luck
