I'm trying to replace my stock manual shift knob (it's freaking ugly!!), and I'm finding it difficult to figure out how to remove the stock one. Anyone got any hints?
Thanks in advance! |

Nevermind the question about removing my stock shift knob. I got it--I started to try to unscrew it (I had tried before, but apparently not hard enough!), and it "gave" just a bit, so I continued and low-and-behold--it came off! Anyway, my carbon-fiber (fake, but it still looks better than the stock one and it's a helluva lot lighter) one looks great! ####! forgot to get film for the camera.

I haven't grinded a gear yet since I replaced my knob. Actually, it seems easier to shift because the new knob (even though it only cost me $12) fits more comfortably into my hand. I wish I could afford a better, more expensive knob right now, but I just wanted to get rid of my stock one--that thing was heavy and ugly!!

how hard can a knob be.. but 1 common problem with cheap knobs, is it will loosen with use and the screws that tighten it will no longer tighten it...if u r going to keep the same knob for a while then i advice siliconing the inside then installing the knob...

I know that a friend of mine put an aftermarket shifter knob on, and it didn't fit well, and eventually ended up tearing out his shifter boot. How can I tell that the aftermarket I buy will fit correctly? Ps, i'm looking at the Momo Race Airleather Aluminum. The other momo's are nice too <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I hate all shift knobs honestly, even Momo. I have one but I had to rig it so it would fit right. I only like knobs that will screw onto the shifter. Like Greddy's.
