i've searched numerous times but haven't found exactly what i'm looking for, maybe someone can help me.
on a stock shifter, what shift **** would look ok? ok in the sense that it actually looks shorter than the stock **** (even if it's the same height, if it really is shorter the better) and doesn't look odd sitting on the non-short shifter. very subjective but a comment or 2 is better than none at all. any recommendations? and should i also be worried about the threading? from your experience or knowledge which one fits perfectly, not having to use the screws cuz i dont think i'd want to use them.

Sir Nuke

personally I don't like the ***** that require you to use set screws either....

SO....what you need to do is to ensure that the **** you get has a threaded insert in it with 10 mm X 1.25 thread pitch on it so that it will screw right on.

thanks for those measurements, that helps

this site is great... lots of information...
anyone else pissed that the aluminum on stock shift ***** is soft?
Damn I put a dent in it with my travelling coffee mug... i was not pleased at all! WTF??? just my .02 cents

Anyone know any good sites that sell shift ***** at decent prices?


I would rather go with what Sir Nuke says, using a threaded insert that goes right onto the stock shifter.

Crutchfield has this **** that I like, but i think it uses set screws.

Sir Nuke

What I happen to be partial to is just a nice round ball...one that is 1 7/8" in diameter.....

I found a company called EPCO that will make you just about ANYTHING you want...and put the threaded insert into it...

I sent off for their catalog of custom shiftknobs and it was awsome the stuff they make. they will do inlays, designs....all sorts of stuff. and best of all.....it was only $45

i bought a cool one at the local pep boys. it was a "fast and furious" brans by pilot. its close to the same silver thats around the shifter and radio and has fake chrome on the sides- hey 14 bucks aint bad and it looks sweet to me

brucelee

did that pilot one have the right threading?

Flecky75

its a set screw type
