Anyone Ever Installed A New Automatic Shift Knob?
#8
Nice looking but awfully friggen expensive once you calculate shipping into it. They want $55 USD for US Post Office, or $24 for UPS - but as you know UPS will turn around and charge you $25 for the brokerage fee.

I'm not sure how simple the install will be either ... according to my Ford DVD you have to take out the console to access the O/D switch connector before you can remove the knob. To remove the knob itself is basically one small screw on the left side which, again according to the DVD, must be replaced.

If you decide to go ahead with it, let me know and I might be able to help out with some of the logistics like before.

Cheers Daniel.
