Question???

I have a 2005 Neon SXT - Automatic

Do they make a different shifters for an automatic? I have been looking but havent seen anything. I have been wanting to change mine out but Im wondering if they even make them at this point lol.

I have one that a friend gave me...

I think it was from matrix racing or something like that....its gunmetal w/ cf around the middle part.

It looks good. The one that is in the car looks generic in a way an I want to spruce it up some lol. Thanks a lot!

Oh I thought you were looking for different shifters. If you want just a different shift knob, yeah, they're everywhere. Definitely doesn't have to be Neon-specific. Most aftermarket push-button knobs will work.

any universal push button knob will work, and i think even any shift knob for a manual will work too, just push down and shift... i love my leather atx shiftknob.. looks the same as the regular atx knob but leather obviously... dont have a pic, but can get one if needed..

i had that in my 00. my only complaint was i could never get it to stay tight. had a nice feel but i could never keep it tight.

so any push button will work huh? even if the button is on the top an my button is more towards the front? How do you install them? I know with some you just screw them on is that the same way with this type too?

the stock one has a little allen key screw in front of it.. the button is basiaclly a lever, so even if the button is on the front, the switch is still push down, you can see if you take off the shifter... any universal one will come with all kinds of diff size adapters, just use the one that fits yours... 99% of them will just slide on, and you'll tighten up a couple allen screws

yeah you don't have to take out the cc to put the stock one back on, just put it in and tighten it w/ the orig. screw

...they need to make better ones for us

I have one on mine just like that, wierd, mine has never come loose or anything.

By the way, I thought I would mention that any console shifted automatic from Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep will bolt right onto out auto shifters.

My brother had a Chrysler Concorde and I tried it on mine, bolted right up, it was a leather knob.

I also tried my buddies Jeep Cherokee knob, it worked fine too, it was a t-handle knob.
