[dankS14]

hey

just got an S15 shift knob, and it wont screw on my C's short shifter..is there anyway to put it on w/o ruining anything?
i wanna be able to take it off in the future and i also want it tight enough where it wont come off or turn on hard shifts...does anyone have a S15 shift knob and have a way to put it on?
any help would be greatly appreciated...

i did a search and found that someone has put the S15 shift knob on with some JB weld...what is this and where can i find it?? what does JB stand for?

also, if i use this method, will it just makes new female thread where i will be able to take the shift knob off with no problem??
i dont want to ruin my shifter just to put this knob on..i wanna be able to take it off again..any help would be greatly appreciated..thanx

The S15 shift knob is too big for most shifters. Not about unscrewing it. The only way I know how to securely attach it is to use an adhesive like JB Weld.

hmm..yeah..JB weld..the S15 knobs are expensive..heh

ok...well, it doesnt look like the JB weld stuff will do the trick. if i cant get the damn knob off after putting it on, then i guess i am not gonna use it..looks like theres gonna be another S15 shift knob on ebay..anyone else have any ideas on how to fit this damn thing..iirc there was someone on here that had it on there s13/s14..but im not sure if theirs is able to be taken off again..any ideas?

I have the s15 shift knob on my s14. What we did was put a new threaded insert into the shift knob to match up w/the s14 shifter.

[dankS14]

where can i find one of these threaded inserts to fit inside my S15 shift knob to put onto the S14 shifter??? also, what sizes are each??

S15 thread = 12mm ???
S14 thread = 10mm ???

also, is there any particular brand or size that you got??
i really dont wanna get rid of this shift knob..it looks too good w/ my black/silver interior!!!
let me know ASAP... thanx!:D

Yes, the s15 knob is a 12mm and the s14 is a 10mm. Let me find out the exact insert that we used and i'll let you know. Give me a few days though. My buddy that did the mod for me is out of town, i'll ask him when he gets back.

i was just wondering if you ever found out any details on the thread insert that you used for the S15 shift knob...please get back to me as soon as you find out...im dying to put this damn thing on!
