shift knob install

[smokey8890]

I just installed my razo shift knob do you. I didn't take rayray advice yet about cutting the stalk since i don't have the time right now. I also relocated the o/d button but i kind of mest up on that. My interior looks like ass right now since the dvd player is sent for repair and the dash is getting painted.

UPDATE:

o/d (the plate is on backwards) i thought i could leave some room for another switch in the future. I can't upload the dash kit but you guys will see it sooner or later when i install it.

Yea I know. It kind of looks like a steel penius.

Update on my first test drive. I got drove all the way to work on neutral. I need to fill in the bottom part of the shift knob. The black thing controls in gear indicator (the orange line thingy) .

how did u get the stock shifter off? I undid the two screws ont he back of it, tried to lift it but it only goes up about half way and then gets stuck. I want to change the shifter also... Thanks.

when you pull it up you will see this blue tube. inside the tube is your o/d wires that is attach to the button. I just cut the wires and extend it with some speaker wires. then loom it through in back of the ash try, radio, then to that lil mount.

rayray has the best instructions on the removal. Only he use the levoc which comes with a o/d button

*sniff* memories of my first mod i ever did to the Camry.

smokey... i have the exact same shift knob sitting in a drawer somewhere. it was on my old car and never ended up using it again. it looks good, lowered or not (hey, it's still an automatic either way, right? ). i'll be changing mine out soon cuz the chrome part just below the button is starting to peel. you'd think Levoc would make quality stuff... but i'm pretty dissapointed with mine at the moment.

Not if i put a shift boot on. Upgrade shift knob on a auto is nonfunctional so I mind as well go all the way .

Smokey, Is that a Razo throttle carbon-fiber pedal I see?
Got the same one.

[smokey8890]

yup had them for atleast 5yrs. one of the bolts on the brake is wore so i don't fit that great anymore.

UPDATE

fixed. but since there is less leverage shifting is alot more stiffer.

Real nice shifter, enjoy it! Kinda like an old ferrari stick, small & shiny, a pity you don't have a slotted gearbox.

My interior looks like ass right now since the dvd player is sent for repair and the dash is getting painted.

Are you painting your dash yourself or getting someone else to do it? If you're doing it, is it difficult to do and what quality finish do you think you'll get? The reason I ask is I am thinking of customing my interior in black or grey and the dash and door upholstery could be a problem. Any advice would really help me out, thanks.

u oughta try like what i did, take out the shifter conslole thats got the prnd2l thing on it and replace it with a leather shift boot like from a 5 spd. I get compliments all the time on mine...
