    I've wondered if there are any aftermarket options for a new shifter knob, like a direct replacement one....

    I can't imagine that works since there is wiring inside going to the OD button.

    another couple hours looking online.... STILL no suitable auto shifter knobs with OD button... Has nobody done this before? I figured there would be 100's of mod pics, threads and shifters available online considering how hideous the stock ones are lol... Anyone?

    I got that, but last time i tried (i was on a serious cleaning kick, and wanted to clean the area with the indicators) it didn't seem to want to come off. It moved, but i was in fear of breaking it.

    i got a response from the guys selling the shifter I posted above, they gave me the numer of DRAKE, the brand. They may have an adapter for the yoda and be able to ship the unit and the adapter direct to ya..
