Is200 Auto Gearstick

[MrADeveci]

Hi people, I won't why just yet - but I have had a courtesy car from Lexus for just over a week, and handed it back today.

It was a brand spanking new 54 plate IS200 SE AUTO in Persian Quartz, the colour was awful, but hey - could have been worse !

Now that I have got back into my own pride and joy, the gear stick seems like it's soooooo high, it's horrible !

The newer model IS200's come with a nice shortened Gear Stick, and it looks and feels so much better.

Can it be done, or has anyone actually shortend the geart stick on the auto box ?

If so, can someone point me in the correct path ...... I need to shorten it like ASAP !

Cheers !

I guess you could take a hacksaw to the shaft, and using a tap and die set put on a new thread and screw your knob back on. B)

if the courtesy cat had one, maybe you can get one from Lexus?

Mr Shipley is normally very nice to gold members :winky:
