I've never seen one for an AT but if you really want it you can get an adapter http://www.lokar.com/product-descriptions/shift-knob-adapter.htm personally I'm not a fan of them but to each there own.

Damn bro! Lokar is like 5 minutes from my house! Real cool people out there! I helped Kevin Ford when he was trying to do the whole Lokar motorsports thing! Hell we even had him on our tv show! Great people! But I agree about the shifter.... kinda wierd in any thing but a hot rod

haha, i was just in my car and realized that it would be a no go with that knob. any other shift knobs out there you guys would suggest. nothing wood grain since my car doesnt have wood grain in it but anything black, polished, chrome

I bought one in Japan last year when I visited my family.....they have different sizes. The one I got was too damn long. I had to cut the bottom and re-drill the thread so I can use it. It broke on me in like 2 months.....

those "dildo" style knobs are popular on boso cars and other older whips.
Out of a S13:

i have one in my 2gs, got in a debate over this on CL, theres a thread on them. im an s13 guy and im into quirky japanese stuff so i like them. mine's kind of crystal cut, blue and pruple, got it off a seller on here. its a bubble one, nto a flower one but i know the flower ones you mean.
also as said you get different sizes, some are 15cm, some 20cm, some 30cm! People say they break easy, i had 2 different ones in my last S13 and neither broke. One i dailyed with for like 6mths then sold, the other i only drove with on occassion then sold the car with it. The one on my GS300 just screwed on as normal, havent had an issue though i so try to grab it low down to try not to stress it too much haha
i sorta got it as a laugh, its certainly a talking point. id prefer something Garson or whatever but just dont have that kind of $$ right now.

I've always thought these things were awesome. I've currently got one in my ls, it needed some work and now I'm working on fitting a boot. All we did for mine was take a bolt that fit the shift knob, drilled it out to fit the actual shifter, tapped it with the proper thread, tada cheap adapter. My buddy is running an identical one in his xA and he is mean as hell to it and not even a stress crack showing.

This is an Ol' School look from way back. Personally I have always liked the look. I work at a Restaurant and have even thought about putting a Beer handle. Kind of like shifters on Big Riggs.

I agree on it being on more drift rides. I still have a seven inch bubble shift knob in storage. Saving it when I get another track toy. Just not classy for vip ya know.
