Auto gear knob or not?

Hi guys, just wanted some advice on whether I should try this cheap mod of replacing the stock auto gear knob:

So do you guys think this would work on Civic FD auto? I have seen someone done this in the DIY section but the pics in those posts are all dead links... Also thought it's good to share if it's good/cheap product + easy mod.

Cheers!

cant see why it wouldnt work unless the FD has some fancy auto gear knob...
otherwise theyre all the same

i was lookin at getitng one for mine too get rid of the disgusting thing

^ those look nice but I have to admit, I quite like the feel of the stock Civic auto lever. It's quite nicely textured- unlike some of the crappy older autos from the 90s.

that is tru like mine hahaha the dirty sideways aeroplane thrust lever

i like my bro's auto gear knob...i reckon saty with it...i dun like the straight ones with button...they look abit weird IMO...i used to have razo on my auto..but im converted now to manual..hehe

Go for it if you like it, just be prepared for a hot KNOB during summer and a cold KNOB during winter heeeheheheheheee...

just get a manual car dude. :thumbsup:

Those knobs are nice man!

love my stocky... doesnt need to change I think... ^_^

^^ Make sure you get a knob which has the correct thread diameter and pitch as the one used in the auto Civic. No point getting a nice knob and then finding out that the AC Schnitzer knob uses a BMW thread diameter and pitch which is different to Honda.

Try sending an email to the seller to find out before hand. If the diameter of the AC schnitzer knob thread is much larger than the Civic, you can get a thread adapter to go between them.

Rock it stock!

Then stop being a ricer

Can someone just ban this moron? Double R has made one dumbass comment after another.

Maybe when he gets off his oestrogen pills he might calm down a bit.

Agreed! I cringe when I see the sort of vehicles he's talking about on the roads but they dosen't give you the right to bag someone who obviously likes it.It's the old 'If U ain't got nothing positive to say they don't say anything'.If you go by this easy to follow rule you will be a much happier person!

he cant even drive yet... oh yes he can, in NFS that is!!! (not even good enough to play GT)
