I am thinking of changing out the standard shift **** (auto) for a different aftermarket one.

How do you remove the existing one?

 

Much has been written here about gear shift *****, try using the search feature and you'll get what your looking for. In fact there is a thread about 5 or 6 down from this one.

 

for autostick only...i original purchased a momo ****...but i didn't care for the added 1" in height. and i didn't want to hack my car...especially if i wanted to put the stock **** back on at resale.

so...i then decided to purchase an 04' m/b slk automatic black leather shift ****. this **** is classy and looks as if it belong there imo. it also, fit as the crossfire stock **** does...height and all. see my gallery for more pics.

m/b part # A 170 267 10 10 9C05 (called a: handle)

 

Looks very nice...

I just ordered a Burled Walnut and leather AMG shift **** from an Ebay store goodstuffs4u0904 $69 including shipping.

He has an amazing number of items for MB and BMW.
