Construction & Design

The Billetworkz Automatic Shifter is crafted from high-grade 6061 aluminum, known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. Each component is CNC-machined with precision to ensure perfect fitment and smooth operation. The shift knob undergoes a meticulous polishing process to achieve a mirror-like finish before being hand-anodized using a specialized multi-color technique. This anodizing not only enhances visual appeal with vibrant toxic splash patterns but also creates a durable, scratch-resistant surface that withstands daily wear and tear.

The innovative lockout collar mechanism replaces the factory shift button with a push-down design that remains fixed in place during gear changes. This engineering choice improves driver confidence by providing a solid, mechanical feel and eliminating the common issues of button sticking or accidental gear shifts.
