hey guys i was bored so i decided to look on ebay for random stuff.. searched TRD and came up with this nice TRD shift knob but it says only for the gate-type auto trannys. has anyone tried using one of these on an 05/06 regular gate transmissions? is it even possible? i know the OD button is on the shifter but that can always be relocated. only problem i would imagine is the shift button. just wondering if anyone had an idea how to get around that.
thanks for the clarification white :-) in light of this, now i have a new question.. who has aftermarket shift knobs for AT? and could you post pics of them?
Its the push-down kind. I disabled my O/D since I don't use it anyway.
I used to have an OBX TOMCAT shifter which looked like a fighter pilot joystick... I liked it for a while... but the one I have now is definitely more comfortable.

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.
Gated automatic shifters don't have a button on them like your typical automatic shifter. Instead of a button, you have to push the shifter left or right in addition to downwards to shift. Check out the images of the 04 and newer Sienna or 07 Camry to see what I mean.

yea i know they are different, just wanted to see if anyone could figure out a way to use one of them on a regular shifter
He said he disabled it. So my guess is that he did not hook it up and does not have it any more.
Yup. I taped off the exposed copper from the wires 'cause if they touch together, they trigger the O/D, so I wouldn't want that happening while I'm driving and stuff haha... and yeah, I've thought about spending the time and routing them to a switch somewhere... but... I'll be honest with you... I don't use the O/D button... maybe one of these days I'll do something about it... as of right now... no need to worry. I'm definitely lovin' the shifter though.. my last shifter was just like Dave's, except it was an OBX one... I got rid of it 'cause I got tired of it.
