The RAZO RA93 shift **** is ONLY for automatic. You have to push down on the **** itself to shift gears, which is why there are no buttons.

Nope, Razo 93 or other automatic shift ***** come with a spring, that go inside the ****, which you push down to shift then it will bounch back.

once you take off your OEM ****, it just a small button, that make shifting work.

then maybe i could do a same job to any manual shift ****..false??
think i could put the spring under the manual shift **** so that it works as same as ra93 does..false??
i kno spring is inside the **** for ra93 but i think i can just put in under the manual ****..means i have to find a nice size for it..

I don't think manual shift ***** are hallow like the RAZO RA93. It's hallow because of the spring inside.

But where, between the button and the ****, would you place the spring? Aren't manual shift ***** screwed on?

I think it's a waste of time and effort (and money) to find a way to use a manual shift **** on an automatic. If you want an automatic shift **** that looks like a manual shift **** (no buttons) just get the RAZO RA93.

man.. where to start. okay first of all, it's a great ****. but i advise if you want it, get it in metallic rather than chrome. the metallic one matches very well with metallic trim that's already given on automatics, but for hybrid owners, chrome is probably the best option to go.

the problems:
first of all, this **** is NOT FOR HONDA. if you look on the back of the box of this product, it specifically states on what brand and model it will work for as far as compatibility and "perfect fit" goes.

just to let some of you guys who's interested in buying this, this **** is mostly targeted for TOYOTA, NISSAN, SUBARU, and I think MAZDA. there are two buttons on the ****, one for shifting, and a tiny button right below the shifter for overdrive.

Too bad Civic doesn't have a overdrive and that 2nd tiny button is completely pointless. Maybe you could somehow connect that to a nitrous or something. (now there's an idea. )

First of all, the fitment was way off. There required some drilling involved, not with the ****, but this bottle-cap-like piece that had to be drilled in deeper for the hole inside was too short and too small. I don't know what you call it, but if you pull out your OEM ****, you see that white cap that sticks out above the shifter?

You can't use that cap for this ****. So you have to therefore make somewhat of a duplication to make the fitment alike of the OEMs.

Drilling was basically trial-and-error. One time, it fit so good me and a friend who was working on this stuff thought we finally got it working right.

It did, until some weird **** happened. Shifting wasn't the problem. I couldn't take out my keys once I drove my car. It was just stuck like it melted in there but, I realized that the drilling on the cap was still not..

deep enough to let my keys go. I dunno the technical words to actually express what happened, but what I had to do was again, drill deeper on the cap to be able to take out my keys.

that took friggin some time. the cap that came with this ****, at the end was a fuctup piece of cap that had drill scratches and cuts that was later in the end - fit perfectly.

I still have the **** right now, and the **** is still brand new. did i mention the wires that's connected to the ****?(for overdrive function) I had to cut them out because they got in the way from fitting into our cars nicely.

so now i'm back to my OEMs, happy and shmappy about it.

btw, the black piece on the **** for gripping is a carbon-fiber material.

Sure! I'll probably get it done by next week. Or as soon as I figure out how to take out the auto shift boot. Did anybody try to take out the auto shift boot on an 03? I heard it just pops out because it's held by clips. We don't have to take out the whole console. Anyone?
