duhm duh duhhh!

Napolex Levoc Shift knobs work. see my pics. you can grab em @ www.optauto.com w/ the o/d button for a fair price. or just shop around and see who carries Levoc shift knobs

and im pretty sure the nissan/toyota ones work...unless they make one for mitsus now?

it doesnt matter where the over driver button is does it? cause a after market one is on the side, and the stock one is on top

As long as you wire it up it dont really matter at all. Just your preference I guess.

Depends on how good you are reading directions and how familiar you are with your cars wiring.

your o/d button is on the top??? my stock one was on the side :?

i have the levoc knob that does not have the o/d button so i just wired the o/d to a push button switch and mounted it in front of the shifter. wiring is simple, the levoc will come w/ 2 wires while the o/d has 3 wires. the yellow one is the light, the other two are power and ground.

is it going to b hard to take the stock shifter off and replace it with the aftermarket one?

no, theres like 3 bolts that hold the stock one on. then the only thin holding it on is the wires. you may have to take off the entire center console(easy, only like 3 bolts) to move the wires around but try it w/o at first https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif

<span style='color:blue'>Make sure you get the one with the O/D button. I think it's the Nissan, (toyota?), but i know it's nissan, wO/D button. It comes with the OD button on the side, just like our oem shifters. But don't freak once you hook it up. I'll warn you and tell you that you'll hook it up right, but the od light on the dash, will be out of sink with your od button on your shifter.

The OD will be on and the light will say it's off, and vice versa. Personally i just disconnected the light. When the button is pressed "in", the OD is "in"gaged, when the button is out, the OD is off.

I played with this one for like days, and there was no way of getting around it. </span>

<span style='color:blue'>Bye the way, don't wast your money on the matching E-brake cover. It's plastic that looks like the shiftknob, held on by some fake azz 3m tape, that comes off a year later. :evil: :? :roll: </span>
