A/T with OEM Shift Boot
Hello

Definately looks nice, but that might confuse the crap out of anyone else that has to drive your car...ie the service tech, a valet, a friend. I don't know what the shift pattern is on the AT, is it pretty straight forward, or crazy like a lot of other Japanese AT's.

Is there anyway to shorten up the steel post the shift **** screws onto, the red one looks really tall?

I think creating confusion is the whole point of this mod

yea probably need to chop the steel shaft if you want the short shifter look :o

and yes RX-8 auto shift gates are jagged, but there's additional display in the gauge cluster to tell you which gear you're in :o

Finally I'm home and guess what I did as soon as I got home?! I had my roommate cut the shifter. At first we cut it about an inch then another 1/2 inch. Ooooh I love my momo shifter.

What did you cut it with? How is the shift **** secured--doesn't that remove the threads?

My friend used a dremel. The thread is no longer there. All Momo's are universal as far as I'm concerned. There is a black rubber around the shaft and 3 screws.

ahh nice--so it uses the screws to anchor it. It looks awesome--I see this mod in my near future--especially since I decided to hold onto my A/T indefinately--I was considering trading for a manual but I'm gonna wait.
