By Request: Aftermarket Auto Shifter
#31
I am having one hell of a time understanding this D.I.Y... It's annoying me! I wish I could follow this, and not sure why I can't.. Just confused me!
I'll take a look again in the morning.. maybe a nice nights sleep will help my brain understand! Great write up none the less.

Well, kind of.. Just not following it the best I wish I could..
EDIT: What I don't understand, is how does the shifter stay still? If you tighten the screws down that come on the shift ***, it wont allow it to move up and down.. And can you use a toggle switch for your overdrive? Just those two little problems.. Aside from that, I think I have it..

Slightly off-topic, but why do the auto shift ***** on these cars take such a beating? I can sort of understand a manual **** wearing out, but who rests their hand on an auto ****??
I picked up a less worn OEM auto **** and am wondering if there's anything I can do to ward off further leather degradation (other than the obvious leather conditioning), or if it's just a flaw in the materials Lexus used?

Makes sense. It also looks to be pretty thin leather, which would compound the problem. I may contact an upholsterer and see if there are any products out there for leather that act like a wood filler. If I can beef up the thinned section on the top edge of my "new" shift ****, I'm confident it'll last for many more years before looking ratty like most.

can someone post a comparison in size of their new shifters and the old one? i just bought one off ebay and it's like half of the size, i'm thinking it will be too small lol. here's a picture
