Shift knobs

[Devin]

My **** has worn down. It's just been handled too much. Anyone got a line on replacements?

 

[luigisho]

Not sure if the threads line up exactly but I remember people using mustang shifter k nobs. THis looks close to stock but I remember other ones that looked pretty good also (mach 1 or GT or something). If you can search through the archives stuff should be there...or lost in a server crash

I did this. It’s a Mustang **** converted to fit the SHO.you have to trim the whit plunger inside the shifter. There is a better tutorial from another member. I’ve been away from this forum for a while and can’t remember his handle right now. But it’s here.

Something like this?

Thanks for the info, but I would be highly surprised if an auto **** for a gen 4 would work on a stick on a gen 1!

You know when I saw the black **** above I thought to myself, “*******, you should have looked to see what year/gen he had.”

Um, I meant, unintelligent donkey.

That is the same one I listed I think. I remember a good looking newer mustang one also. As I recall the thread pitch is the same. It's just whether the thing lines up when you scr ew it in all the way. I think this is workable but I am not 100%

I think I saw something like this

I order the leather ****. We'll see how it works!

Any Mustang k n o b will screw right on but the problem is that the SHO k n o b has deeper threading. With the Mustang k n o b there will be a gap at the boot if you don't get creative. Here are some pics of what I did to get rid of the gap.

If you can find a real Mustang k n o b in actual black leather instead of the charcoal gray it will look really good. I have an 80s GT k n o b in my white 89 at the moment. I've also had a Ford Performance SVO Hurst style k n o b in my 91+ before.

The one I got did say it was black, but I'll have to see it in person to confirm it isn't just a dark grey.

I like the spacer idea. I will most likely be heading over to Ace for that Hillman!

 

[Devin]

So my boot isn't long enough to join with the bottom of the k n o b, so I printed a spacer. Might think sometime of finding a longer one or getting the boot redone. Either way, I think it looks okay.


Ugh, boot needs a delousing.

Thats the first thing i do when i buy a used manual. Change out that shift **** and try not to touch it too much when driving it home. No….just eww. Lol same with steering wheel, i get it rewrapped.
And then i start to wonder as im sitting in it, how many farts are in this seat??? Lol

Neat i cant say nobb either

I hate to be the guy that SHOs off stuff like this but....
Two on the left are NOS. I opened the one up just for the pic.
