There are still a few peices missing to make the assembly whole. The boot will be fastened around the lower indented area but most of the shaft will be exposed. The larger flat ring just below the knob is the grip for your fingers to pull up to move it from gear to gear.

All that's left is to weld in a set pin for the disengage mechanism, and get the spring in with the proper resistance for the top portion. I should have it installed by Wed/Thursday of next week.
That looks really great...so basically the same amount of shaft as the manual one will be noticeable? That is a great design and I can't wait to install mine. Let me know when u want the details of what I want. That black ball is the one I want with engraving on top. Once again, amazing work and contribution to the Solstice community.

Prototype for the automatic shifter is installed and final changes have been made. It's definitely a go though and everything works like stock (only sexier )

Only drawback at the time is that leather is twice as thick as the OEM vinyl so fitment is a bit tight around the trim ring. We're trying to correct that though. Alcantara would probably fit the best of course.

Not yet. Finalizing boot dimensions. My machinist is already working on yours . I'll get with you next week with details. I'll probably end up having to get another local for final testing as the current car will be gone by the time I get the second one.

Awesome Joe. This is the setup I would like:

Copolymer black sphere knob- with engraving of the D, R, N, etc. (can't decide if I should get that in white or red...we'll talk)

Black leather boot (whatever leather fits best, as long as its black with the same color red stitch as on the GXP seats. Embroidered on: GXP logo and right below it, in much much smaller font "INTRUDER EDITION"

We can go over it on the phone.
