I'm going to look it up and I'll post the price if no one beats me to it.

EDIT.

I can't find one, nor can I find a part number.
My dealer asked for a part number because he can't find one in the catalog.
Go figure...

Btw, he said he thought the 0'6s came with a leather autostick shift **** as standard... I think he is probably wrong.
Anyone know?

Thanks.
The shifter **** came out of an '03 SLK/32, I got it off E-bay for around $60.

Chrometec has leather shift *****...not the same dimensions as stock, and not cheap, but maybe you can talk them into what you want. They make a tom of stuff for the Crossfire.

Now if only we can get a company on this side of the pond to make stuff for us???

Well I finally found someone that can do the job. He's in Florida. I sent him pics of what I wanted, and my ****. I had asked if he could do the thread in orange to match the trim on my car, but he was not able to find the right match, so he used some twine color thread as a sample, and didn't charge me. He told me that if I want the thread in black, or wait until he special orders it from Europe to send it back and have it re-done, which is what I'm going to do. Here are some pics of it now.

Gary- Looks great. I also have received my MB shift ****. One thing I find interesting is I noticed yours has a chrome piece which attachés to the bottom of the shift **** and mine has a black piece. I have not installed mine yet do to cold weather and the cars in storage.

Thanks

Sorry, we can only get it in the Gray leather with Carbon Fiber. It's up on our site for sale. Direct bolt on and has the stock shift pattern on it. Price is 85.00, which is a 20.00 savings from retail.

I presume the original and this replacement just screw on, like a nut on a bolt? And shift pattern -- I dont see that on the one illustrated in your link. Why would it have a shift pattern on the ****? Is this for the manual trans only?
