Retappinga Nismo shift knob

[niSm095]

A friend of mine gave me a Nismo titanium shift knob- only catch, the plastic threaded insert is stripped.

Can this be fixed with a Helicoil? I've used them on metal before, but never plastic, can anyone confirm this? Or give me another trick?

I haven't heard about Helicoil but...

I would fill hole with epoxy or something similar, let it dry then drill a hole and re-thread :]
...or do something real ghetto like putty or some ish.

you could prob buy just the inserts somewhere and trim them to fit inside the knob too, just some ideas

Try a tap first
maybe it's not that bad

but if it is
you can have the plastic piece pulled out
and have a piece of delrin inserted, drilled and tapped

if you still can't figure it out
I'd give you $10 for it :wiggle:
