Anybody try using different oem auto ****?
My 98 auto shift **** is in bad shape, cracked leather and wood and it bugs the hell outta me. The Stealership wants over $350 for a new one, no way thats gonna happen. So I see a lot of good condition ***** on ebay and the LS ones look real nice. I cant find any of the screw thread info on these ***** online. Anybody out there have a another lexus shift **** on their sc? Will one from a GS or LS work? Can anybody chime in on this?

You have a few options:
- get it retrimmed
- buy one second hand from a wreckers
- modify a non-lexus shifter.
I bought one of these and modified it to suit. This unit only has one button on the top for use when shifting the 'ect-power' function has to be moved to the shifter bezel. This requires you to be reasonably 'handy' with a Dremel, but it can be done - I did it! :

Anyone with the gated shifter is lucky enough that you can use any of the newer Toyota/Lexus ***** out there. It's those of us with the giant, um, "appendage" that have fewer options!
