Nothing special but it looks great IMO. B&M universal shift knob. $14 eBay.

 

goes with the rest of the wood kit

 

ridindurty......whats funny is i got the same louie vuitton wallet hahaha
thought it was mine for a second.. lol

 

well.... it couldn't be yours.... or is it

 

i got the black wood so that wont work malayalee

 

i like the B&M shift knob...how does that baby throw?

 

just out of curiousity is any shift knob i can pick up on ebay compatible as long as its the right thread size? whats the thread size 8mm?

 

lol its great actually. I also cut the shift rod down so it feels like a short shifter!! j/k but i did cut it down about 3/4 inch. Thats why it comes so close to rubbing when i put it on 1st gear.

About the size, i am not sure exactly what size it is. As long as you find one that is the exact size then you will be fine. I got a universal knob so it brough all kinds of different size fittings.

 

what's wrong with a type-S shift knob?

 

^ aftermarket ones make the car faster

 

the B&M shift knob looks nice

 

gives me dyno proven 300whp

im jus tryin to switch up the look a lil bit

 

The MoMo look cool too..

 

Razo executive shiftknob

 

 

im feelin that razo but too much chrome. i gotta see if they hve a leather one with aluminum top

 

 

gotta love the 6spd

 

lol i was waiting for this one

 

Need a different shift knob though. Im torn between teh TL-S knob and a momo

 

I got the same set up as ridindurty. Cut the shifter and everything. I'm not too sure about the thread size. Cause it's a universal, but it looks way better then the stock set up.

Oh and the power....... the power from this thing is absolutely amazing. I think I'm pulling like 3g's off the line......... I'm serious......... I know you don't believe me....... but it's true..... Ok I'm lying. But it still looks nice.

 

HAHAHA the first on eis my avatar..... duh. i'm kinda slow. Sorry the pics are so big but since it is this big you can just put your hand to the screen and see how it feels......... ooooohhhh yeah you like that don't you. Ok stop.

 

mmmmmmmmm

 

hahahahaha victim Number one, you like that dont ya. Let's see how many people we can get to get our shift knob, ridindurty . We would be the start of a new revolution........ ok maybe not. But it would still be kinda cool. I think there is another member on here with the same one he pm'd me about it.

 

you guys already got me then..I'm just waiting for mine to arrive already. I've already ordered it. Thanks for the info, MurkyRiver

 

Heres mine Momo sphere black leather

 

This would look a lot better if you cut the shifter down like a half an inch. I know it seems scary but you will like the result. Cause it just looks way too long like this.

 

No problem. Welcome to the B&M Shifter club. We should start our own forum........... Just kidding Mods. Please don't ban me.

 

yea thats an old picture. It is lower now.

 

nice, where's the new pic?

 

Should have posted the new pic. I wanna see.

 

im confused if you cut it how would u be able to screw it back on? i wonder what the stock tl-s knob would look like if the shifter was cut. maybe this is all i need to do lol. what did u use to cut it?

 

I used a hack saw. and if you cut it down and leave some threads then that is enough for you to put your shifter on, and it will look a lot shorter, but just take a little bit at a time, and go to where you like it. Yeah it will take a while but better safe then sorry. Just like I have told everyone else though, just be careful how short you go otherwise you won't be able to get your shifter down to first gear.

Oh and you could also use a dremel or something like that to cut it.

 

Oh and if you have a tap & die set then you won't have to worry about runnin out of threads.

 

oem?

if not what brand and where?

 

whats a tap&die set?

how much of the thread do u recommend i take out?

 

If i were you, i would buy the shifter first, put it on and then put the car in 1st gear. Measure how much room you got from the shift gate to the bottom of the shifter. Then cut that much off the shifter rod. If you want to keep the oem knob then just measure it now. Thats what i did and it came out pretty close

 

Ok here are a few more. Dont mind the dirty car and this is the lowest it will go. The shift knob hits when in first gear.





You guys happy now

 

lol nice it makes a big difference. I have never used the car in 1st so i wouldn't mind if it hit but its your car. and yes , i am very happy
