How come? - Skyline Owners Club

**CrispyTKD** · 22nd October 2008, 11:45 PM

how come if you have a manual car you can get replacement gear knob covers/end bits.

but if you have an 'auto' no one does them and you have to stick with the standard ones?

ive looked high and low on the net and cannot find anything anywhere for the automatic gear selector. is this a gap in the market?

Just think it's money you've saved not buying one

**Moff** · 22nd October 2008, 11:50 PM

Can't see it being too difficult. The button on the gear stick is linked direct to a cable to stop you shifting at the wrong time and could be moved, although, not too far.

I'm sure one of the Skylines I broke (dismantled before you lot start

) had an aftermarket knob on it..
