Rob Dublin Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Carrying on from the thread about making the auto gear selector look more like a manual, does anyone have any suggestions buttons for moving the MANU and O/D buttons into the blanks on the lower dash? Would like to make it look as factory as possible. Maybe something small enough to mount on the original blank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themodifiedkid Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Ive just left my manu button where it is, the gear gaitor will cover this but you can still press it through the gaitor, and my od button ive drilled through the gear lever and mounted it on top of the gear knob so it basically sits flush at the top of the knob but still enables you to press it when need be.

What about the lockout for reverse etc, have you retained this someway or are you just careful?! Isn't there someone on supraforums.com who's done this? This is what made me do it, this thread is just specificly to source parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I take it the only reason for this is because you want to replace the gear stick for some reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
