Default Levoc shift *****...

I found a pretty sweet Auto Levoc shift **** that would look perfect for the SC4 (the 'chrome' needs to be removed, nothing some paint can't fix). It says it fits Toyota and Nissan. Any thoughts on these before I gamble 115$?

Had one of these. They're pretty light vs. the typical heavier ones. I liked it. The only problem was that once screwed on. If you tried to screw it off. You could not screw back on. I had one of my mechanic friends put a piece of rubber hose into it. You might be better off getting a new one than a used one though.

Thanks for the quick reply, if you don't mind, I have a few more questions. Did the shift **** fit perfectly? Any negative aspects of the shift **** you found after having it for a while? Why did you get rid of it? Thanks!

It was on a different car not, the SC. It was on a '90 300zxtt and didn't have any problems with it other, than the one I mentioned. It also depends on what model shift ****. Some fit well to certain cars and some don't. Make sure it fits your specific model and make sure it screws on and off without, any problem. If there is a waxy substance inside then, once you take it off. It won't stay on in, other words you'll have the same problem as me before. The **** was in great condition and was for a stick shift. When I got rid of the car. I left it on.

Default I had one...

I had one of these Levoc Shift ***** for our cars (SC4)...

It was chrome with pearl white to match my car (check the gallery and find my interior pic with it installed..near the end)

Anyways, this **** does not screw on perfectly onto our cars. It still gave us use of our overdrive button, but the most important part was in the wrong area. If you pull down the plastic piece on your shifter, you will see one screw. The Levoc has the whole for that screw on the opposite side. So in order for me to install it, I had to use 3 small screws to tighten into the sides of the ****. If you look at the **** in person, you'll know what i'm talking about.

Anyways, I took it off because it loosened up every now and again, but it looked badass with it on. I'll sell it to you if you want. Just email me, Tony@fobx.com

Does Levoc make manual *****? I hate my screwed up factory one. The whole "cushy" thing on manuals feels wrong. It just seems that I cannot find a shorter **** or even a **** that fits.

I'd recommend a Greddy shiftknob for a manual SC300... its the best I've ever seen...

it threads in the very top of the **** itself; it really drops the length of the shifter by about 3-4"

Almost like a shortshifter for me
