JustGav Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 It isn't the entire gearbox, someone has probably just changed over the control lever, not exactly difficult to do. Although it isn't a facelift if you look at the dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 It's got a Razo knob fitted to it - I found one of those under my passenger seat and used it as a fancier steering ball. How does he get it out of park/into reverse when driving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 The shifter is in essence only a switch mechanism. You could just stick a couple of switches in there that would do the same job. Not sure what he uses for the O/D and manu buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
