Okay with all this talk of Voodoo and Momo shifter knobs, has anyone checked out the Grant shifter knobs? I recently saw a Grant knob at my local auto accessory store and I was pleasantly surprised. First of all the one I was looking at was yellow and black (matches my P5) and it had some ergonomic features such as depressions to fit your hand better. I think I will be going with this one but wanted to hear if anyone has even used this brand of knob. Here is a link I found to see some pics:

Grant shift knobs

Thanks Richard, I was thinking the same thing as I have been looking at how I have been shifting recently and thinking about that knob. I did notice that I hold or move the stick differently depening on the situation as you say. Hmmm, I will have to do some more thinking.

I am thinking about getting a Voodoo knob and want to know if there will be a gap between my boot and the knob and if so, what do I have to do to fill that gap??? Where can I find whatever it is that I need.....a specific website perhaps?


Thanks guys!

To keep the sun from heating up the shift knob you could try buying one of those little bags for sun-glasses, possibly one that matches your car so it wouldnt look so outta place. Try asking some females if they have a make-up bag or something like that might work. Women have everyhting...hehehe...;)

Awesome...I think I will be ordering my Kartboy shifter w/bushings probably the middle of next month by the time I get a chance and get the $$$


I am proud to say that I just ordered my Team Voodoo Magnum Pearl shifter knob....thank you everyone for the posts....I hope it looks good and matches the interior well!!!! :D


My only question still remains is if there will be a space between the boot and the knob and if so how can I resolve this problem (details please ;) ) Thanks everyone!!!!

I believe there may be a small gap, but the person I contacted about ordering a Voodoo knob also sold a small ring that could be used in conjunction with the knob in order to mask the gap. Look back at the first few posts of this thread. There is talk of how one person slightly modified there OEM boot to eliminate the gap.

Let me know how it works out for you as I am very interested in ordering one as well...and I would like to see some pictures of how the pearl one looks.

that ring will not work with the magnum knob because the base of the magnum is bigger.

it is a REAL simple modification to make you boot look good with the knob. there is a plastic ring at the top of the boot, take the boot out of the car and rip that ring out of there. turn the boot inside out, and zip tie the top of the boot to the shifter shaft. reattach the boot to the console, and screw the knob down onto the shaft. prest-o-change-o, it will look like this:

the pearl knob looks pretty damn good against the silver dash/console pieces. strictly speaking, you don't need to modify anything with the boot but it does look a little rough b/c the top of the boot isn't finished well. that boot modification that njaremka did would be a good idea for a more finished look.

the knob itself feels great. a little heavier so the shifts are a little lighter, but it just feels better in the hand too. dampends the vibration of the engine a bit more too since it's heavier.

sorry, i don't have any pics yet but i am really happy with it.

Alco,
I see you are in Canada too, where did you order from? Did you get the Magnum or a regular sized one?

i ordered from brperformance.net in the states. with shipping it ended up being $45 US and it took a couple weeks to get here.

mine is the standard size.

That's alright then, there is a guy out of Toronto that sells them and he charges 58 Cdn for the knob, that includes 5 bucks for shipping via Canada post (3 days I suspect). I thought it was a good deal just wanted to check out other sources....he has the extra ring that eliminates any gap, and finishes off the look for a standard knob. If you want I can get his number for you. I think the ring is 16 Cdn or something.

i'm not sure what the deal is with a gap. mine screwed down tight to the sleeve that holds the boot up on the stick and it's fine. all i need is maybe a small black or silver washer to cover the rough part of the boot.

the $58cdn is a better deal (b/c of shipping). oh well. when i was searching, that deal didn't pop up.

Ok...that's cool then. Do you have a short shifter or just the stock unit?

I'm thinking of going for the Pearl Standard knob as well...I bet it looks amazing. If you get a chance to post some pics then do so please.

stock shifter. i wish i had a digi-cam to take a few pics of it. maybe at the next meet here i'll get someone to snap a couple.
