Does anybody make them for the 4th gen auto transmission?? Will any old brand of Auto shift knob work?

Yep. There are so many auto push knobs. You can find them at any aftermarket store.

EDIT: Here is a pic of my auto shift knob.

I put these on cause I am doing a 5 speed swap so I am picking up parts for it.

wow... um.... that actually looks better than I imagined one would look... ****... I'm going to go get one. Did you need to take off the oval shaped outer tube when you changed that? U know how the rod extending to the handle of the shifter is black... and funny oval shaped?? What kind of stuff did u have to do to put that in? Any modifications or just screw off screw on?

The shift knob I have is for a 5 speed. You can make it work without having to push the button. The stock shift knob has one screw holding it on. Take it out and the knob comes off exposing the roller wheel and shift arm. My new one goes around the shift arm and screws in with three small screws to keep it in place. I would say.... ten minutes of work tops.

and to answer your question.... The trim piece that runs to the base came off too.

Can you post a link where I can get that nob along with the leather shift boot (or whatever it's called)?

I bought the shift knob from my local stereo shop. It is made by RACTIVE. I can get the number and look around for it. The leather shift boot came from Jose(PRELUDENYC) out of a Prelude.

I found these. I paid 35 for mine.

That looks PHAT! I'm going to do that to my auto. So any 5-speed shift knob well fit it? also, how does that leather shift boot cover attach? Did you leave all the other crap on under the shift boot (that thing that says p,n,d,r,2,1..ect..)?

Is that bad not having a button on there? I know those auto on trucks and vans have the shifter on the seering collum dont have buttons. ????

Not having the button will allow the tranny to slip out of gear. If you aren't careful you could easily shift into reverse when driving forward and that is new tranny time. Most any 5 speed knob will fit the shift arm. I left all of that stuff in my car and trimmed the boot(cause I have two) and used the plastic ring to hold it in place.
