This is what your shifter should look like in the MT



This is what your shifter should look like in the AT

The aluminum knob may look nice but it is also ice-cold in the winter. Hmmmmm, I didn't think the AT knob could possibly fit. If it does, I may just buy one for winter use!

Did they think you wouldn't notice or something??

Do they ship them unattached? I remember seeing floor models with the knobs removed. I wonder why...

how would the lack of a knob prevent you from stealing a car? I hope that was a joke.

At least you don't have the same problem as trying to pull the knob out of a BMW. In a BMW. if you pull the knob out, your pulling the driver.

Hi jorgev, have a look at my avatar. Sounds like something fishy is going on.

Someone would go into a dealership and steal a shift knob?? Don't you need a wrench to do that?

Anyway, they don't always remove it. It makes the car look better, doesn't it?

Hm... maybe it was missing because it was stolen...

You can just unscrew the shiftknob with you hands, it's not hard.
