Automatic Shift Knob 05 ES ?

Keep the spring and metal sleeve in it for auto, or take the spring out for manual. A manual knob WILL NOT WORK. It will keep the shift button pressed down all the time and yes that means if your not smart you could shift it into reverse. but with the buttin pressed down, you cant take the keys out of the ignition, it locks them in. When i get pics of mine installed I'll post them.

lol ok, well, if you have a sleeve for the knob to slide on it will work. I meant if you just get the kind that tighten down. If you push the stem all the way down and tighten the knob, it will keep the stem pressed down because the knob is holding it down.
^ yup
i actually had another regular stick shift knob before with no spacer, and i went to the post office and jacked some "priority mail" post-it stickers and wrapped it around the rod to decrease the play. it worked fine, just that it left some glue mark on the rod after which i had to clean off with goo-gone

I put an after market shift knob on mine also. But it stands so tall up so i take my ziz wheel and cut an inch off the rod that the shifter sites on, but becare ful not to cut the inner piece that pushes down to let you shift out of gears. So now it looks like a short shifter for the automatic. Worked GREAT! Oh yeah and if you shift into reverse it won't do anything. It's a second neutral as long as your over 15 mph. (don't ask i found out lol).
