Tomei Duracon Shift Knob

I'm going to email them now and see what they can do.
I ran into the same problem with this last night! I bought the long one.

I did ask for an exchange for the short version, but they don't have any in stock. I asked to return it but all i got was

I have a short version on the way from another source. I'll let you know how it fits.

I emailed them and PMd them on this site and got no response. You're saying you asked for a refund and they said no? Bull sh*t. I'm going to call them Monday and see what they say. If they won't take it back I will just dispute charges on my credit card.

They can't advertise a product for a specific car, then refuse to refund that item when the product clearly doesn't fit that application.

UPDATE:

I have the short knob installed. It fits like a charm! Threaded with ease and looks great, IMO.



Ordered it from FRSports.com

Just an update here, I sent the 90mm knob back to Z1 and they confirmed that it will not fit on the stock 370Z shifter. They have now put a disclaimer up on their site. They did say that it will fit their short shifter, though.

They offered me either a discount on their short shifter or a swap for the short, 70mm knob. I just ended up going with the short knob. Kudos to them for being cool about the situation and making it clear that their goal was to make the situation right.
