Answered my own question. Removal is easy. Two phillips head screws on the front side then pull. The knob pulls out of the boot. As far as replacement, would need something with a physical button on the very top unless u replace the entire shaft

I dont think there are any aftermarket auto knobs. There were very few for the previous years too.

Thanks for the tip to take it off though, I was looking at it the other day. I was thinking of swapping in the manual shift boot because the gear markings on the shifter are useless and there is no indicator or light up that make it even worth having there (and is on the gauge display anyway). Plus the black paint on the edge of the plastic where the gear markings are already rubbing off on the edge from the shift boot rubbing along it.

I am just gonna find out how to replace the entire shaft. I hate the stock one. I want to mod a hurst to go in there.

I too am hoping somebody makes a shift knob, or at least a boot that covers up the gear indicator. I'm not trying to pass my auto off as a manual. I just think it's a much better look.

Subbing in case you post up some pictures and results.

That's what I want to do, the indicator in this car is useless and it doesn't light up or even indicate what position you're in anyway. My boot is already scuffing the black paint to the right of the letters.

I doubt it without substantial modification. You need a lockout as in the shifter button.

If you mean the Hurst from the 2010-2014 Hurst made for autos, I don't know if that would fit. The 2015 is a completely different car and doubt they share any parts/dimensions and the shift lockout button is on top now unlike the previous years.

Nah im talking totally custom. Maybe with and old t style lockout.

Has anyone thought of pulling the AT's boot and having Redline Goods make a custom boot? Already considering a new armrest cover and boot in alcantara/suede to match the GT350 steering wheel I'll grab.

I hope they are, I got Saddle and I don't want black leather if it can be avoided

If not, it will be shortly after I get my 2016.

Probably hazelnut. But I believe they're willing to find a match if they get an actual swatch of the Deep Saddle color in the Mustangs. They did a good HoF of matching stitching before for Fiesta ST owners with the Molten Orange Recaro seats.
