Ok, I must have a dirty mind cause your last statment sounded very sexual in nature
Anyway, I have both knobs and havn't installed yet. I'm not sure if I'm going to either. I bought mine a few days before I got my vx and now that I look at it the stock shifters dont really look bad and they at least give a consistency in form/design with the rest of the dash.
johnnyapollo is right, you have to push down on the auto shifter to change gears.
