check out opt auto...they have a bunch of Napolex/Levoc ones for like $80. I got my Levoc w/o overdrive for $40 on eBay. I just wired up a pushbutton switch in front of the shifter for the o/d...works rather well

I like the one with the crome and rose wood it would match my car perfect and look great but 80$ is a little to much..

You don't actually need an OD button on the shifter... It's just a button that happens to be on the shifter because it's the most convinient place to put it. You can move that button to the dash, hide it somewhere, or eliminate it all together. Just letting ya know. And for the shift boot, who needs it? https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif But, rubberbands stratigically placed will keep the top in place. If you need more info on this, PM me and I'll go over exactly how that works.

You can move it, but why would you remove it completely thats the only way I get to feel like I can control shifting in my pos automatic https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif

Ride 3rd all the way out to 5500-6000 hit the OD button and vrOoom lol..then 2 seconds later slam the brakes...damn nYc traffic.
