NEED HELP - shift knob finisher/spacer!!

1 Attachment(s)

Hey guys, so I just installed my new shift knob and there's about a 1.5 inch gap space that i want to fill. Anyone know where I can look for a shift knob finisher/spacer that'll fit for my shift knob? Or if anyone has one that they don't need or want to sell that can kindly offer to me that'll be awesome!! :hello::icon17:

Also, is there a way that you can move the boot higher?

Thanks!!

:icon18: What he said! Get a short piece of the black foam pipe insulation to use as a spacer. It has a slit in it so you don't even need to remove the knob; just slip it over the shaft underneath the boot. Cut it so it raises the boot up to meet the knob so no spacer on top is needed. I had some houses under construction in my neighborhood so I got my scrap piece for free.

Z1 sells some, not sure if it will fill the gap or not

You could put 2 zip ties under the boot to hold it up, I had the same problem but I just wrapped a thick hair band under the shift boot to keep it up, it works pretty good and it's not visible.

I had this same problem. I went to Home Depot and bought a wide washer to place on the bottom then also got a copper pipe .5 inch to .75 inch size reducer. Then used a pipe cutter to cut it to the right length. A little paint and you can't even tell it's not stock. Let me know if you would like a visual

No need to be fancy here. I used a spray bottleneck cut to proper length. Worked like a charm. Creases are all even. Zero issue whatsoever. Hose is common as I suggested.
