Im looking for a shifter knob for my P5. I have a frined that has one but it doenst screw on like the one in the P5 does. Will this shift knob work or do i have to get one that screws on? Thanks for the help

Get a VooDoo knob:

http://teamvoodoo.com/

they were originally designed for the Miata, but they work just fine on the Protege. I have a polished magnum knob, with a custom shift boot, and I get compliments all the time. Very nice product, great support from the owner of the company, and it screws on to the stock shifter.

If I had a digital camera, I would post pics, but I don't...

Oh yeah, no afiliation what so ever, just a satisfied customer.

After having a Momo shift knob in my car, all i can say is: if it doesn't screw in...then DO NOT BY ALL MEANS BUY IT!!!! It made my shifter feel like such shit when i had my momo b/c the way you secure the knob is retarded.

You have to get a rubber grommet sorta thing and put it in teh knob, then push VERY HARD down on the lever to get it to slide into place. After that you secure the bottom part of the knob to the shifter lever with 3 hex screws that scratched the shit out of my stock shifter lever, rendering it impossible to ever screw on my stock knob.

I have my momo knob and boot currently on ebay after a year of hellish feeling shifting......i love teh way my stock shit feels now that I have it back in :).

I have a Momo Aluminum knob on my car, came with it from the dealer. Constantly loosening up. (uses 3 hex head bolts) I used blue Locktite to lock it on. no problems 8 months. Love the feel.

I have an ichibahn know on mine that is aluminum and black leather. It uses the 3 screws and they have worked their way loose once in the three weeks its been on. I don't have threads on my shifter however since i have performed the short shifter mod.

I don't know anyone who has a die nut set with the size i need. The last time I bought a die nut it was over $100. I needed to re-thread my wheel hub.

that may be for the shifter however the wheel hub was like 1.75".....that's a damn big die nut and Sears doesn't carry any that big....i had to get it from a metal shop locally.
