[crunkman99]

[Ken-f]

[lilwilliam]

doesn't really work for auto does it :confused:

[Ken-f]

what doesn't work for auto?

BTW it looks good, but the only thing thatd bug me is not seeing where im shifting it haha

[Rein]

i never look at the letters near the knob.. always look at the one on the cluster. and if you had your euro for a while.. sometimes you dont even need to look at all..

[Darkii_]

Which type r shift boot is it? direct bolt on?

[Ken-f]

I wouldn't really know. Mines manual.

[Crapdaz]

HAHHA agreed look at the clusters, nice alf.....

too bad it costs that much to get it replaced.

[tony1234]

I've seen it in the flesh,it looks good.:thumbsup:

[[ IV 23 VI ]]

the gear knob is nice but the boot cover is rice,
sometimes original looks better.

[traumatized]

was the knob a direct bolt on? was it just the knob or the entire assembly? any mods required to fit the updated knob?

[Atjo]

KUCING was the first person who did this including the first euro modified in oz.

[giant_mongrel]

looks good, better than the 04/05 chode with silver button

[Rein]

just a minor mod, you have to remove the white plastic on the stick inside the knob. and yes the knob is a direct bolt on.

having the shift boot from a MT. Although I suppose he is right, you can look at the dash.

Rein, Darkii asked as well, but what car is the boot from, and was it a direct fit?

the boot was from an EG i think, it is a direct fit, you just have to remove the silver frame from the boot.

[felixd]

looks like manual :D nice mod

[tron07]

During the cruise as I was the last car following the rest, I was thinking Rein's car must be a auto while the rest was manuals Euros, as only his car's brake lights keep going on like an auto driver would drive tap the brakes from time to time, while manual would just lift off but not tap the brakes.

Took a look during the stop and peep at his gear to confirm my suspicion and I was right, its an auto.

Yet something seems odd with this auto euro, but couldnt think what is odd/wrong, until I saw this thread.... :D

[Crapdaz]

hahah ron, his converted to a tiptronic manual stick! :p
1 speed and go

[iLlusion10]

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

Marshmellow anyone?

[RiceMeister]

albii and his epic plague of fail has transcended forum sections...good one!

i personally don't mind the shift boot mod, turns the boring auto shift into something a little nicer on the eyes. good for cosmetics.

[felixd]

That's all fine and your CL9.:thumbsup:

Albii dont ruin this thread please at least some one did a perfect DIY and contribute to the public.

[oni]

[jfaust]

Also, does anyone know where to get the cu2 oem knob from online?

[seanneko]

Anyone got any photos of this mod? The original photos are dead now.

Does the 2006-2008 auto knob screw directly onto a 2003-2006 Euro? If so, does anyone have one for sale? :)

[Nuggety Nugget]

I wonder if the CU2 auto knob will fit on a CL9. I don't like having the button on the top.

Get a prefacelift knob then, button on the side.

Haha I don't like that one either, doesn't tiptronic mode feel weird using a T-bar? I like the button at the front that you activate with your index finger. The CU2 one looks better too.

[myeuro-05]
