i was bored and decided to put my stock shift knob back on. i decided not to put the lock nut back on. i also pulled the boot up a bit (made it stay by wrapping some electrical tape around the shift lever underneath and pulling the boot over it...nice and tight)and it sits nicely below the knob.

before: (borrowed pic from someone on the board)


after:




what do u guys think?

 

How did you keep the shift pattern straight without the locknut?

 

put little bits of paper in there until it tightened on straight. the paper is removable with a small thin screwdriver.

 

lol nice man whatu do cut it down and thread it urself?

 

You don't need to cut it down. When you remove the locknut you can screw it down farther.

 

bingo!

 

nice

 

awesome man! I think I'll do that tonight!

 

i did the day i picked up my car. it actually feels a litl better than stock height. for mine, the final position wasnt too far off from the "supposed" pattern. i just forced it a litl to get it into the right position.(about 15 more degrees)
