step 1 - buy a packet of ciggarettes (preferrably b & h extra mild)
step 2 - smoke em, enjoy!
step 3 - grab a peice of the carboard
step 4 - jam your shifter button down

drive away and watch the shifter slide

*warning 1: it will take you a second to get used to just slightly tapping it
*warning 2: i will take no responsibilty if your gearbox shits itself or if you stupidly/accidently knock it into reverse and blow it up!

Hmmm, i suggest nobody try this!!

And I didn't think the gear actually engaged unless the button was not pressed??

Well i have an auto, and i figured out a few things. You can change between neutral and drive without the button, and you can push it up to neutral without the button from L, 2, 3. And down to neutral from reverse. I think that is how it was designed.

I t shouldn't be too hard to re-wire the O/D button somwhere else or even geta missile style switch..lol, then just Put any aftermarket auto knob on it.

Maybe place the new switch/button near the shifter or on the dash wichever is more conveinient :?:

can the side button be replaced so I can get a top button like the current model magnas?
