Manual shifter knob

I have a manual 2006 TL. I love the car but HATE the shifter knob. I guess it would be o.k. if it was wrapped in leather, not that cheesy vinyl...
Are there any other shifter OEM knobs to replace this? How hard is it to replace this part?

Just unscrews, pretty easy once you break it free. I'm sure there are replacements but I haven't looked into any of them.

Yup, This is one of those easy mods. I would say look for something you can really grab. For me it a "T" type. I have had one in my car's for years. You can really grab the"T" , for me it cuts down on missed shifts. The ball can just slip threw your fingers, but not when you have a "T" shaped shifter.

I have a new Skunk2 that I decided not to use since I like the factory one better. It's an awesome shift knob, PM me if you're interested.
