Auto Shift **** with Bird Emblem for 3rd gen?

Hey guys,

Friend of mine with a 02 T/A just picked up an awsome shift ****, it's leather with a gold bird on it for his Automatic shifter. Does anyone sell something like that for the 3rd gens? I know our ***** are slightly different but it would be cool if I could find something. So far google has failed me. lol

So know one knows? I still haven't been able to find one. Guess they must not make them.

Got a link to this **** he got? I would actually be surprised if it did NOT fit. Just a c-clip that holds it in, so surely your buddy will let you try his in your car.

I would love to try it! But he's in Utah and I'm in England.

Anyway, here is a link to the post he put up on it. Says he got it from the WS6 store. Reply number 13 has the pictures. Also, not leather but still awsome.

A real friend would take it off...Ship it to you to let you try it. Then if it fits, you'd just order him one & have it shipped to him, or pay him for it so that he can order another one!

OK, maybe not....

Can you Save the pic & repost it here? Non-Members on that site apparently cannot see pics. It sounds like something I might like to have, so I'm curious to see it.

Re: Auto Shift **** with Bird Emblem for 3rd gen?

That is the one that steamwalker posted, but I don't see how that would work for an Automatic tranny, because I see no Reverse/Park lock-out button.

Even only listed as "5spd or 6spd". I see it is on an Auto trans console (gear indicator beside it). But where is the Lock-out button? Does the whole **** push down for the Lock-out function?

Re: Auto Shift **** with Bird Emblem for 3rd gen?

It could work if was rigged up correctly. All it has to do is push down on the plastic piece that rides in the center of the shifter, thats all the T-**** does when you press the button.

I asked my friend how he's got it set up. I looked and don't see a button either so I'm interested in how he's got this rigged up.

Re: Auto Shift **** with Bird Emblem for 3rd gen?

Ok, got a response from him. Apparently there is an adapter you buy that allows you to push down on the **** to activate the "button" so you can shift. Would be a bit wierd I think.
