Automatic Shifter Conversion

That looks like a nice setup.

Do you have a side shot of it so I could see the height of it better?

Thanks

It sets a little taller than stock. I'll load a couple more pics tonight when I get home.

My setup is one off. I used the sickspeed adapter as my idea but had a completely new piece designed on a cnc. Everything about the sickspeed adapter is cheap. My new piece is much thicker and heavier and the slider inside is much beefier. I wanted the part above the boot to look like something the factory would do. The sickspeed one is basically a tube. The slider is very thin as well. Nobody here is willing to do what I did to make this thing work and it works perfectly. It also looks like a factory piece. The WM piece looks ok but it sits too tall for me and I want to be able to change knobs.

Yes, the SickSpeed part is thin. I intended to reverse engineer it and machine a new part but I have a lot of irons in the fire already.
That said I made this mod about a year ago and this is my DD. So far I have had zero problems with the shifter. My only issue is I have to remember to put a post-it note on the dash for the service tech that says "Push shifter down to shift from park."

Installed. Finally

So installed my updated shifter and it looks great. Top of shift ball is below mid point of a/c controls. Works perfectly.

Sorry. Didn't sound like a compliment. There's some people who have made really mean remarks.

I spent a lot of time and a considerable amount on that shifter to give it a factory look. Did that answer your question?
