just drill it out...then fill it with glue...then put it on



no but seriously...a machine shop would have to do it...is a shift knob really that worth it to you?


i made mine out of an ebay POS knob and bondo...then paint

tap that hole :) <--- inappropriate. Haha seriously though, is it really worth it? Take a look around Zilvia at different sponsor links etc... and see if you like any of them. Just seems like a waste of time and money to get a shop to re-tap a shifter?? I guess if you really love it though good luck tapping it.

--and good to see another convert from the Honda world :)

Yeah.. Just rethread the fucker...

If that don't work you can have the shift knob from my Silvia when I get back. It's a stock knob that weighs like 10 lbs and it's made with real bits of JDM so you know it's good.

Yes, it's possible just needs to be re-threaded to fit... like others have said a machine shop can do it for you.

If you only like Honda shift knobs maybe you should stick with those :P

Or just buy a tap and die kit and do it yourself:aw:
