B2 Auto Designs automatic shift ****

Found this online today after some google searching. Has anyone ordered this **** before and can tell me about it in regards to quality and ease of installation?

i didn't know they make shift ***** for AT also. Installation should be pretty straight forward.. it should take you less than 45 mins... i have done M45 shift **** swap and that was pretty easy.. In terms of the quality.. i am not sure.. sorry

It looks like a contraption a buddy of mine put together that allows an AT to run a MT ****. Not certain how the installation would be but just looking at the parts it seems to be that it would be fairly straight forward.

So I assume w/ that spring, you just push down on the **** to move the lever from park rather than the trigger behind our current ****?
BTW, looks pretty nice IMO.

The more I look at this the more I like it, just wondering how well it would fit up w/ the shift boot? That 4DSC **** from the Maxima looks great but the way it mated to the boot was the issue. It does seem like all the proper parts are included here though, the 4DSC **** was missing the bottom collar IIRC.

OP thanks for posting this. You've got my attention. It looks nice. I kinda like the black one if I could be certain I won't burn my hand.

If you decide to get it keep us posted.

At least w/ the AT you don't have to shift much, so the burns shouldn't be too severe

Hey, I have tender computer hands. Maybe I'll put a white athletic sock on it when I park... Oh the sacrifices we make.

I'll be ordering it in the next couple of weeks once I get my insurance and rent money set aside for next month. I managed to find a picture of it installed on a Facebook group and it basically sealed the deal for me. Here it is

Yep. That's the one I saw on their website: b2autodesigns.com. There are all sorts of pic there and explains of how it works. blnewt was exactly correct in his suspicions.

B2 is a vendor here. I sent them a PM and Charles responded:

'Re: Shift ****

Sorry I don't have any black shifters left. Just the silver ones.


Install is straight forward really. No special tools needed.


Let me know if you have any questions.


Thanks
Charles'

So there it is. PM them or call with any questions.

Anytime haha. I've got a tan interior instead of a black one in the pic, so I'll add a picture from my own car in a few weeks when I get it.
