This setup is super slick though and I love the factory look. Even if you don't have a civic, you can use the civic shifter mod on your car with similar results.
Totally cool. Thanks for the pics. I had thought of using black caulk to plug up that hole for the screw on the auto trans selector, but my caulk dried up and I'm too cheap on that minor point. Well... back to work, lunch over! (hear that, employer of mine?)

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
