RX300 Shifter on 1LS...
Well, my shifter is looking pretty ratty and old, and I was thinking of replacing it.
I've seen the Levoc, but I don't think I'm interested in going that route.
I did search and found this thread.
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...=RX300+Shifter
Has anyone here tried an RX300 shifter on a 1LS? Is that what is shown on the pictures on that thread?
I have a 92 and don't like having the O/D button on the front, I would like it where the 94 and up have theirs.
Also, some have mentioned the Devil's brand shifter, but I've never seen a pic of one...
Thanks in Advance.

theres a reason all the ones in the pics are on cars w/gated shifters, we dont have to push a button to release the lock. on a none-gated shifter thats pretty dangerous since the lightest tap will send the shifter into a potentially trans. harming gear.
garson iirc makes one for the 1x LS but not sure.

Id be happy to show you when its on buddy boy.
back on topic though, im sure the rx shifter will work fine for you. I am doing alittle bit of fabbing but its nothing more than adding my own button. Not really that hard to do imo.

Definitely "feelin it" on this one. I just wish it was a lot cheaper than what's on Ebay.

Well I got one...
...and decided to try and mount it today.
Running into three known issues so far:
1) the shift mechanism spring on my 92 LS400 is spring loaded from the top, while the RX300 has the spring built into the shift mechanism stem from the bottom. So I need to figure out how to pop that baby in there.
2) The shifter stem on the RX300 shifter is a lot longer than the LS400. In order to use the shift ****, I need to use the RX300 shift stem.
3) The assembly housing of the RX300s is a little bit smaller than the LS400s.

Looks good overall, but taking up time as I have yet to figure out how to remove the stem from assembly, add the spring to the bottom of the stem, and make it fit the shaft.
The only easy thing in this whole venture so far is the overdrive button.
