i have extended the wires to mount a new button on the dash next to the od light... it is easy to extend and then you can put the button anywhere you like... but like i said putting it on the dash in one of the blanks is a good spot to put it...

once you use take the shift **** off you should find 2 wires. Cut the wires and extend them with speaker wires. Go to the part store and buy a toggle switch and find a spot to install it. I previously own a camry and found a small panel that came off.
The shift **** your about to install will be way to short and it will look stupid. etc.
It looks really stupid but it works. To fix this you have to purchace a pipe cutter. There are smaller version of this thats much cheaper.
Once you take off the factory shift **** you will find a hollow metal pipe with a plastic center. Trim both pipe and plastic equally until its at the desire length. Now you have a shorter shifter.
Shifting will feel alil odd after this mod. You will need to reach further down and its alil stiffer since its less leverage.

^ it's different with 240's.Plus honestly... what's the point in putting an aftermarket shift **** on a car that doesn't get shifted constantly - in other words, an automatic?
Looks - I guess that could be a reason, but I can't think of anything else other than "you shoulda bought a 5-speed"... IMO it's like putting on an FMIC on an N/A KA LOL

some of us have reasons in buying an auto 240... mine happens to be 36 years of abuse to my knees which includes 17 rounds of knee surgery and a knee replacement... thats why i bought an auto... i looked for 7 months to find an auto just for that reason... i can do short amounts of driving in stop and go traffic... but any amount of time and walking becomes almost impossible...
and who says autos dont get ****ed??? if i take my car to the track i always shift mine manually... but that is just me...
