Hey Stepside... no shit! the shifter doesn't change the way the tranny operates. I was just looking for some more insight on the damn shifter before I fork out 170 bucks for it. Maybe you would like to take back the coment about people not thinking for themselves anymore. I don't know everything about cars that's why I'm here asking...the way I see it ---the problem here is people who think they know everything about vehicles instead of trying to answer the question. Don't be an ass****.
