Shift knob assistance please?

[AZhitman]

Need to replace the shift knob on our 97 Pathfinder...

Bought one of those ebay deals, with the adapter and the allen head set screws, and it lasted a day. Piece of crap.

So here's what I need: A carbon-fiber design, screw-on shift knob that doesn't cost a fortune... Any ideas?

[Altiman94]

what is wrong with the stock one? I've never had the urge to buy an aftermarket. P.S. the allen head screw types are very crappy and always break within a few days.

go nismo

Stock one is ugly black rubber and doesn't go with the carbon-fiber interior kit.

Remember, it's the wife's car.

my friend sent me a ****ty one too. lol. but heres what i did.

i drilled it and tapped it (with a tap and die set). screws on and is all good now. . 10mm 1.25 thread. as for the drilling you just drill with the bit thats a bit smaller than 10mm and then gradually go up in size with the drill bits. do this till you can get the tap to go in.

[AZhitman]

Yeah, this one I have doesn't have enough "meat" to drill into...

Anyone have a link to a nice one?

<-------- carbon fiber nismo shift knob from option imports

PS: just use a beer tap handle. The big nasty wooden Amberbock handle is the pimp tastic

get the heavy one, skunk2 shift knob which is 440gram (10 gram short of a pound)

Ok i know you don't like the leather one, but his Nismo GT Shift Knob is weighted at a good weight and feels so good!http://www.jspec.com/nismogtsn.html

or if you want light, this one is phat Tomei:http://www.jspec.com/closeup21.html

Nismo is way too much for a knob.

if your gonna get her a Nismo knob, get the goofy looking white one that Alan dubbed the dildo knob.

[SilviaS14KA24DE]

lol yeah The dildo knob is nice, but seriously, when you feel this Nismo GT knob on, omfg, its hoooot. Smooth shifts

lol, dilknob

[AZhitman]

OK, I looked at those, but I ani't dropping $60 on a damn shift knob...

Any other ideas?

[AZhitman]

Lots of 'em on ebay, but they all look like the "set screw" junk.

[navysnail]

some set screw ones work well, thats what ive had for 6 months and never came loose on my or broke.

also, it has a small plastic "cap" that fit on top of the screw part of the shifter to keep the top from pushing back and fourth when you shift.

I have a Razo knob that I paid $16 on ebay but it did not come with the adapter I needed so I sent razo USA an email and they sent me the adapter I needed. I just told them that I purchased a Razo shift knob and it did not come with the adapter could they please send me one. I never mention that I bought it used. Anyway the adapters do screw in, normal screw not allen head, but they only have a small screw to hold the adpater down to the knob. The adapters have fins that go into groves in the shift knob which holds the presure when you spin the knob on. Anyways the Razo's are about $35 on ebay and I have had good experiances dealing with them.

[AZhitman]

Hmmmm, that sounds better.

I really want one that just screws on like the stock one, but...

i have a shift knob, but it looks like something the prev. owner made in shop class. its comfy and feels smooth, but does not screw on or have a set screw. right now i have some sealant goop in there to keep it from rattling, but every time i slam shift, it pops off. is there a way to set this thing in there all nice without having to redo it every week? can i just get a gasket of some sort and put it on there, make a new one in shop class and have it the right size, then tap it. or buy one for 60 bux when i could've spent that 60 on my part of my paint job.

[NisMoSilEiGhTy]

dude just go with the nismo one its stock quality and it looks alot nicer than those ebay pieces of crap...i have the nismo knob that looks like the dildo..lol i paid $30 for it from someone on ebay and it rules...however u can get it for the same price through a nissan dealership im pretty sure b/c they realeased all the nismo stuff in the states..all in all if u want quality u gotta spend the cash man...

[chmercer]

if i was you id get one of the heavy weight razo knobs. i didnt have enough money so i got a greddy weighted one, it weighs about the same but its metal so its gonna burn my hand, *shrug*.
