New Drake Auto Shifter Installed - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

ttexxan · 01-14-2012, 10:00 AM

I read the cosmetic and lighting forum the most so thought I would post here. Anyone thinking of getting the new Drake Auto shifter pull the trigger NOW!! The new shifter is a superb feel in the hand and very solid. I have been looking forward to this mod since seeing the concept. Should come standard from factory. At $99 bucks its a no brainer. I paid over $300 for a similar type product when owning an Audi TT and this feels just as nice. It literally took less than 5 min to install. Put the shifter in Neutral, remove old shifter (held in place by one 20 torx screw) and replace with Drake. That simple. The last photo shows the trigger mechanism some have been asking to see.

Only thing to note....Since a steel type product will take on cold or heat what ever climate your from.

Here are some photos which does not due justice enjoy

You wont regret!! The ball of the shifter is approx same size as the OEM shifter head so fits very nicely in hand. Much more of a solid feel though!

Very nice, got me thinking also. I like the pistol grip,, but 2-300 bucks is outta control..

mbrusco103 · 01-14-2012, 11:35 AM

Looks Great! If only they made it with a Black finish i would have bought this a year ago

GunnyG · 01-14-2012, 11:45 AM

Man, that's BOSS!!!

FL1CK · 01-14-2012, 12:59 PM

New? Hopefully you mean new to you... been out for quite some time. Looks good though! Wish they made it for manual trans.

ttexxan · 01-14-2012, 01:18 PM

oh really?? Didnt realize it had been out that long. Guess I need to check the forums more often.

TripleB · 01-14-2012, 01:47 PM

I've had mine for about 6 months or so now. I can't agree more. It's awesome! Looks great and it's not $300...lol. It does get super cold in the mornings when I go to work though.

1JEWLDSSRS · 01-15-2012, 06:54 PM

I know this one is not 300 bucks, but I was refering to the pistolgrip one made by defenderworx, like that 1..But this one will do just fine..

Chino · 01-15-2012, 06:58 PM

Nice, can you post a picture with a view that's more further away? I would like to see how it looks with the dash and center console...

ttexxan · 01-15-2012, 07:44 PM
