Momo Shifter and Leather Boot on an AT
 
2 Attachment(s)
Yeah... I know I know... I should have gotten a manual...but since I didnt, I still wanted the look of the manual. I think someone else did this on here...but I think it looks cool with the Momo shifter. I had to cut about an inch off the shifter, but unless you notice the missing clutch and the extra horsepower =P I think it looks bad ass! Once again hats off to Trussville for getting this to me in three days... as always!

Cool, but too tall for me.

What are the 2 buttons on the side of the seat heaters buttons?

Looks like a manual shifter! :eek:
Good job!

DreRX8 09-18-2004 09:40 AM

I did the same thing-added the manual shift boot on my A/T, I don't have a different shift knob yet; but its coming soon. And what are those two button? Audio upgrades?

One button is for my AVelectonics video switcher...the other is for my X-Box and DVD Changer. Im having a MOD chip installed on the x-box today, that will allow it to play as many x box games as I want (stored on the hard drive instead of on the discs) and all my mp3s. Plus the name of the song and all the information will show on the screen when i play it! Im going to be using an RF controller that I will keep in the glove box. If it all works out, I will post pics and what you will need to do the mod yourself.

Later guys!

I can't find the appropriate parts on Trussville's site. Can you shed some light flyboyindy? Thanks much!

hey you put in a mod chip but what side HD? I suggest atleast 160 that allows for about 70 games on average plus several emulators and a few thousand NES/SNES/Atari games

put linux on and hookup a wireless connection to the lan and you can do fun things...ask Robertdot...he is knowledgable

Help, How do you remove the shift knob on an auto trans Car.
Thanks

Shocka 09-18-2004 12:17 PM

whyd u park ur car in 3rd gear?

flyboyindy 09-18-2004 12:42 PM

LOL...its in PARK dude....its an AUTOMATIC ...

Vertigo-1 09-18-2004 02:37 PM

How do you work the boot down into the panel? Just ordered the rotary knob for my AT RX-8, wouldn't mind booting it too. :p

DreRX8 09-18-2004 02:54 PM

you unsnap the cover from the tranny tunnel, unscrew the existing panel and unsnap the connector for the shift plate L.E.D. The shift boot from the 6spd screws right in place. It takes 2 minutes. The shift knob unscrews like a stick shift.

so u miseed the joke there huh

in any case its look good.. cept that its too high. See if u can make it a lil shorted and it will look just like the manual

i have to say the shifter in this car is EXTREMLY egornomic.. unlike the Si where i feel im really reching for the shifter

huhsler 09-20-2004 08:58 AM

flyboyindy - Did you buy the boot and the MOMO shifter from Trussville? Can you shoot me the part numbers? Aside from the rotary shifter knob, I can't seem to find similar parts. Please let us know. Thanks.

DreRX8 09-20-2004 09:00 AM

I got my boot from Trussville--you are better off calling them as its not in the parts catalog. It has to be ordered and then sent to you. It was like $58 or so shipped. Right now I am using my stock shifter knob--I may change it out with another type--cuz the Mazda one is pricey.

extremely good point

DreRX8 09-22-2004 07:47 AM

Why? There still is no clutch--so when they go to press it they'll discover its an auto. There is also the gear selector indicator in the gauges.

truemagellen 09-22-2004 01:16 PM

too confusing for valet dudes...I don't care if I go to the fanciest shindig in all the land there is no way in hell I'm allowing someone to valet my car anyway (valet's will never figure out how to put the 8 in reverse...they rev it in 6th and g-d knows what else)

DreRX8 09-22-2004 01:20 PM

LOL--I don't let em valet my 8 anyway either.

JeRKy 8 Owner 09-22-2004 04:26 PM

Valets canlook at the map andfigure out how to get the car into drive. Youre forgetting how manycars these people drive every day. But w/yours completely covered theresno way theyll know thatthey have to movethe shifter to the right afew times while going down toget it into drive -- insteadof just straight down like most automatics.
