FTO AUSTRALIA

Hi all!

My FTO's auto gear stick is a little wobbly on the top and I have always though it looked a little on the plain side so I was wondering whether it was possible to replace the stick at all with an aftermarket replacement? If there was a DIY or guide posted earlier, I would be happy to follow the link.

Thank you for reading!

Dont think there is. But I know how to do it!

You need to remove the top button. Use a screwdriver on each side to pop it out.

From there I believe there is a screw or screws which need to be undone. Im pretty sure it twists out after that. From then make sure you get all of it out. Theres a couple screws and a white plastic piece which sits under and inside the gear stick as well.

I have a MOMO optional extra one that came by choice with some FTOs. It doesnt seem to fit on mine, so im guessing my actual lever has been changed because it came off a 95 GPX, same as mine. If I cant get it on then Im happy to sell it to you

From when I asked the same question -

Then there's a spring and a nut, either a 10mm or 12mm from memory.

Then once that's off you just pull the whole thing upwards and you're left with a metal stick for the new one to go on.

I did it a year ago, piss easy job once you get the button out.

There is replacements, they pop up on eBay from time to timw including the momo factory one I've seen once or twice. Also look at rhd Japan, yahoo Japan auctions, and nengun performance, all in Japan but they are the three places you'd find one.

Thanks for the prompt replies! Just a few more questions though;

How does the MOMO auto stick look like anyways and would they fit on a '95 GR? Or are these just universal to any auto transmission FTO? Sorry, a bit of a total noob here!

@Daniel2019: Assuming the stick looks (at the very least) better than the regular ones, what would be your asking price? I'm interested in changing mine as it is!

I paid dstocks (our main parts guy haha) $30 for it. I wont take profit for it, just $30 and postage if you live outside the Sydney area, if not youre welcome to come pick it up or if you arent too far away im happy to deliver it

I am going to be having another look at fitting it, probably on the weekend so I'll get back to you when I get the chance.

Couple of pics. Note that it does have a few scratches on the top button (not sure how well you can see them in the photos). Has all the bits and pieces with it.

Like I said, dont get your hopes up too high, im gonna have another crack at it when I get the chance

You can buy those aftermarket auto shifters anywhere. Super Cheap / Auto One / Repco all stock them.

The one that I posted pics of?

The god speaks the truth!

I'll have a look around SCA and Repco, I'm assuming it's just a regular "racing style" AT stick or something right? Let me know how things go Daniel, if you manage to fit it on then no huge loss for me, if not I'll gladly pay for it and take it of your hands.

The best looking one IMO.

If you want a $120 gear stick shifter

Make sure if you get one from supercheap or sca etc you get a threaded shifter. Not those 3 point Allen key screw shithouses.

Nah Daniel, thats a factory option one. It is in the options catalogue.

I thought so haha. Ben confused me

What is the one in the top right?
Is it a knee rest?
Does anyone have it in their FTO?

It's a knee pad for fast cornering

Hahahahahahahah I don't think it will make my FTO go around corners any faster

Rockit has the knee rest
