I was under the impression a 92-96 couldnt do the gated shift swap of the 98+,

can this be done?

What is involved, how much labor to do this?

You don't need the button, that's what drive is for. If you don't want overdrive, you shift it into 3.

As for the wiring aspect:

you have to of course get the manual bezel. And you have to mess with the shifter itself a bit with a few screws. It's tricky though. It's also anti theft because you have to use the shift interlock paddle to get it out of gear initially. Also, you have to relocate your OD button.

not trying to be rude but I really dont like the manual shif bezel on the auto, in my opinion its not an upgrade and more of a butchering of the car.

The gated shifter is not all that hard, i havent done it , nor would i attempt it on my own, but anyone with some know how can get it done, or send it to you mechanic im sure it's less then two hours labour.

Ok, now I really want to do it, considering it apparently isnt too hard.

Where do I find the gated shift panel and **** to actually do this? Ebay has nothing...
