i just put the auto dynamic "type r" shift knob on. it looks really good btw. i cut the wires off the stock switch. im seeing a red, black, and yellow wires coming off the stock swtich. im not really sure about how to go about wiring up a new switch. but i want it to work like the stock one(od on - light off/od off - light on). can anyone explain to me how to do this? w/o a switch hooked up the light is off, but so is od. tia.

i just got my shift knob too, but i can't seem to get the top part to stay on the bottom part (how they thread together) and i have the same ??? how do you make the od switch work like stock when you replace it??

I might not be correct but I thought you just put the red on one side of the switch and the yellow and black on the other side of a single pole switch, any type will work, rocker,toggle etc..

^^^^Correct^^^^

I didn't likr the light on the dash so I hooked up a warning light just above the toggle. The only difference is that when the OD is on so is my light. If you remember which post I put the pic on you will see what I'm talking about.

Oh yaeh! I want to see pics of your install. Post them! :thumbsup

i said to hell with the rewire and kept the stock button and mounted next to the boot.

P.S. my comp took a dump sat. so i am stuck with my work comp and no way to get any pics up...sorry. but it looks like everyone isnt haveing too many probs with it.

my shifter is just like dirty's and it won't screw together, any suggestions on how to get it to work is appreciated

Are the 2 pieces not touching? What is happening when you try to screw them together?

they are touching but loosely, but not threading. i think i'm going to try teflon tape or maybe some silicone to get them to hold

ghost, are you using the screws they supplied? i know mine wouldnt fit together with the screws in. our shifter has a larger diameter than what the knob was intended for so i dont think we need them. mine stays tight w/o them. and it was causing for me not being able to screw the top piece on. sounds stupid, but it took me awhile to figure that out.

no the screws are not in it i took it out of the package to see how it works and what do you know it doesn't go together

Ain't that a bitch! Did you get the one from Autodynamic? Better luck with the new one.

yeah, its from autodynamic, and they won't take it back, so i'm gonna have to make it work

Why those motherbitches! Did you order with a card? If so call your card company and tell them you got fucked and your not gonna pay. What the hell is up with some businesses lately?

(Sorry for the rant, but I'm in the middle of bleeding out the ass right now too cause of shitty business practice).

I was gonna order from them again too, but I don't do business with people again when the show me their brown eye. In this case they showed you but thats good enough for me.

hell thats not the point, i emailed them seeing what they wanted me to do and they pretty much told me it was my own problem fix it myself. they are lucky i like tring to make stuff work, it should be install soon if it ever quits raining
