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

 

[Irish Pride]

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.

I got a mustang nobule a couple of months ago, I shimmed the shifter under the leather boot to make up the space. Additionally, I used Feibing's black leather dye to make the nobbie match the true black leather boot. It came out great and doesn't rub off on your hand. The mustang knobb matches well now.

edit - I noticed "****" is a swear word.

Yeah, that's the one thing I hate about the Mustang K n o b. They say it's black but it's really charcoal. I found an early 90s Cobra shift K n o b on ebay a while back and it is very black. I used it in my white 89 for a while before I bought my Foxbody and then I swapped it into it. If you can find one of these they are really nice. Very rare now though as they were Cobra specific.
