Just finished the install of the shift knob. Love the way this thing looks. It fits in very well with the Z interior. Thanks everyone for the tips on removing the stock shift knob. Using the vice grips and strap wrench made it really easy to remove.

To get a better fit between the boot and the shift knob I cut out the top of a water bottle and replaced the factory ring that is used to hold up the boot. The smaller ring makes the boot sit higher on the shifter and makes the shift knob look more flush with the boot. There is no need for the O rings if you decide to do this. Here are some pics.

My custom one-of-a-kind boot ring, lol

Shift knob installed with the smaller ring

Now I just have to let the loctite set before I go test it out.

^mine threaded down into the perfect position, did yours?? Or did you use the loctite specifically to hold the knob in the proper position?

KingZee · 12-17-2011, 06:10 PM

pjdm, are you guys sending out the washers with orders now or do we still have to request?

No, it didn't thread down to the proper position on mine so that's why I'm relying on the loctite.

Pedz- looks great! Nice job.

GaleForce · 12-17-2011, 09:09 PM

PedZ and Alchemy, those pics look great!

Pedz, did you take out the stock ring, or leave it in place?

The stock ring is out. Only the smaller one I made is in place.

happytheman · 12-18-2011, 12:31 AM

So I assume you zip tied it in place where the OEM was, eh?

Yeah, exactly. It's a direct replacement for the stock one.

happytheman · 12-18-2011, 12:44 AM

Kool! Did you take pics of the ring swap?

Good job, by the way!

Alchemy · 12-18-2011, 12:49 AM

I was out and about tonight doing some driving and I must say, again, the knob feels amazing
