Come on guys. Show your shift knob in your CL/CL-S.

 

6 speed FTW, nuff said

 

I have a Momo Italy sphere shift knob.

 

I don't think we need another thread like this. Pics are posted ALL over. Search "shift knob"

 

anybody want to polish my knob? sorry. had to...

 

Following that theory the whole CL forum should be locked and only available for searching

 

^lmao!! i never thought of that, but its true. lock this bitch down. lol....no wait, don;t do that...i still like to post stupid shit here and there. lol

 

that actually looks good with the silver trim. i have the wood trim and would have to go with a wood knob, but why?

i want to paint the silver piece that borders the gate taffeta white to match the exterior when i get a chance...

 

Is this thread really going to be locked? I just wanted to gather everyone's different shift knobs all in one thread.

 

it will get locked for sure if everyone keeps blabbin'
pics!

sorry that's the only picture i have.

 

If it goes south, f*ck this thread.

 

Open for now....

 

I'll contribute...

Painted shift knob, simple mod, I'm surprised more people don't do it.

 

How do you take the little cap off?

 

ahem...

 

Man I love your steering wheel. I know it's custome, but how much will it cost to get one made?

 

Is that the 04+ TL shift knob? Got any bigger pics of it? That thing looks good. I just ordered mine today.

 

I gently pried it up with an old putty knife wrapped in tape. I think it was just held on with double sided tape.

 

it was indeed held on by double sided tape...im doing this now. when you get it off, its just one piece of plastic with the "type-s" stuck inside, how do you get to the piece to paint it body color?

 

You need to carefully remove the gray paint off the backside. Make sure you don't remove any of the chrome or red in the "S", the chrome around the edge is the main part to be cautions around. I used a very fine sand paper then polished with plastic polish. Then you can paint it & stick it back on, I think I used a little silicone.

Its been years since I did this so maybe I shouldn't have said it was a simple mod, but I made a bunch of em in the 90s when the red type R emblems were in style.

 

Sorry to slightly hijack, but my car came with a lame aftermarket knob and I've been looking into buying another. Do I only need to buy a shift knob to make it fit? Or is there something about a boot as well?

Also could I use the Automatic shift knob on a manual? (I have a 6SPD)

Farabeast - That's an awesome mod, I like what you've done with your vehicle overall as well, very tasteful.

 

thanks just figured it out...im also going to attempt to paint my shift gate taffeta white as well, but if i fuck that up, im screwed. lol

BTW, got the shift knob idea right here, and the shift gate idea from the 2nd gen TL forum if people are interested in looking at whats already done.

 

If you're looking into getting a new shift knob. Get the new TL knobs. Search for TL-S shift knob and there's a thread with pictures. Look very good. I actually ordered one.

Here's the link to it.

just finished this 2 minutes ago...im seeing what i can do with my shift gate now.

 

if anyone even cares about this thread anymore:




with my wood trim, the silver shift gate was the only thing in my interior that was silver. just wanted a change, and i really like my new body colored shift gate and knob.

 

Looks good man, nice job.

 

Looks pretty good. Good job.

 

here's mine. 3rd gen tl shift knob and i cut the shifter .5-.75 inch off the top. total about 1-1.5 shorter than stock.

 

Same knob I have. Just put it on a couple days ago. I love it. I'll post up mine soon.

 

Well, this thread went out for awhile.
3rd gen. TL 6-speed shift knob.

 

I just got my TL knob in the mail. I've read all the threads but can't seem to seperate the boot from the knob. I pulled down the boot a little and see a small white clip thing. Please advise,
Thanks.

 

You gotta un-clip it from the bottom of the boot. You take off your shift plate thing and pull it up and you will see where it clips on from the bottom. Just un-clip it and then twist your shift knob out.

 

Ahhh....i was going about it all wrong. That was easy. Thanks for the help. I just threaded it until i couldn't anymore
Looks great. Ties the interior all together.

 

Haha yeah. It looks great. That's what I did as well. Post some pics. Let's see how yours is.

 

Hope this doesn't come across as too stupid of a question but...

Since the auto shift knob has no button can I basically use any shift knob on the market?

Are they universal?

 

Got this one on now does a better job matching the interior and being discreet:

 

That's crazy interior, what kind of shift Knob is that?

 

I'm not sure where he got his... but I have to say.

That is one of the cleanest interior shots ever...!

 

Actually I can't find a SINGLE shift knob thread...and I've been looking to upgrade mine

 

^ What do you mean...?

You can't find a single one for sale...?
