I did. Then when I googled it I found different numbers. so I don't know which is the correct one. Do u measure the white part on top, or the metal piece near the bottom

i found a couple that i liked but they're manual shift knobs. i've been looking into finding an adapter to put on my cvt so i can use manual shift knobs. i need to measure the diameter of the shifter rod, and count the threads. now either i'm just not car smart, or i don't see threads?

i quoted this from an older post i did because i see that you are the same person that commented on my older post about changing the shift knobs and you said to use a rubber grommet? could you clarify on this?

My guess would be to put a filler inside the shift knob so that it stay on the Rod... It would have to be a berry tight fit on both....You are not that car dumb , there are no threads
