For a retro styled car, I always thought they should have used the "horseshoe" shifter for the automatic. I've always liked the look. I don't like the picture above in the 5th gen, though. It should be flat with the P R N D L on the top like the original.

I bought this shifter mech. The factory auto knob/hand is held on by a single set screw on the front of the handle, stock handle just slides off. You can access the set screw by removing the plastic cover. The CFD shifter uses the same set screw hole to make the shifter mech work. You simply push the knob down to select gears.

I have the CFD shifter also with the leather boot. Improves the look tremendously.

Totally agree about the improved look. I couldn't stand the look of the plastic. The only thing that was a pain about the install was getting the plastic bezel out.

Looks like part of one of those can crushers in the backyard for recycling. Nah, stands out like a sore thumb - I'm all for honoring the classics, but it belongs there and nowhere else.

I know this is a old thread but I was wondering if anyone has developed a "horseshoe" shifter for the 5th gens?
