If you are a Tall guy like myself, you may have the problem of accidentally pressing the shifter button with your leg while driving . After looking into it, I figured out a simple "Euro Style" Shifter flip that works and is easy to do.

First, pull the collar down:


Second, While pressing in the shifter button, pull directly up, turn the handle with the button on the RIGHT instead.


Third, put everything back.


See, that was easy. Now your car is safer and cooler than ever. I even think my mileage improved a little...

Thanks for the English lesson Scorpion Boy. I fixed it. The problem was that my knee would rest right on the button while the car was in "D". I hope this helps some of yous guys.
