I just posted it. I think its a great mod under $25 and takes less than an hour.
Let me know you have any questions. Goodluck.

Chek it out here or from my signature.

 

can you please paste the content here?

 

I realy wanted to post this thread here at HAN but I dont know how to put the pictures in the post. I only know how to attach them. Honduh was a little bit easier for me to so I posted it there.
Are you having trouble opening it or something?

 

are img tags too much for ya?

And nice write up (not my style though, looks hard to use), but seriously, how many topics do we need on this? :doh:

 

Yes the IMG tags are too much for me, I tried to use it but it never worked for me. This was my first DIY post and I tried to make it the best I can.

There could be thousand of posts and you might be tired of it but alot of people asked me to post it with picture so I did.
By the way, you are welcome.

 

Its not hard...i just cut and paste from honduh h:

Do you want your shift knob to look like this.






Then here is the DIY for you. Cheap just under $25 and take about an hour.
Iam posting it for everyone but you have to post a picture of your car later when its done.

Tools needed.
* Philips screw driver
* A small and thin saw or just a saw blade.

Difficulty 1-10:
* 5 (for cutting the Pipe)

Time:
* Around 1 Hour

Skills needed:
* Patience

Start:

1) Remove your stock shift knob by taking off the 2 screws in front of the knob facing the Radio.

2) Pull the shift knob up. You might have to twist it a li'l bit.

3) Remove the white bushing and a small metal rod on top of the hollow shifter rod.

The knob I bought is this and its available on Ebay, Item # 8000450437. Discard the instruction on the box cause its for M/T.





4) The knob came with these parts. There were 2 sizes of screws, you only need one of the Small ones.





5) If you install the knob on the stock height, it will look horrible and will not work. You need to cut the hollow shifter pipe but make sure not to cut the plastic rod that inside the pipe at this time.

6) Start cutting right in middle of the 2 holes. Thats the perfect height for the knob and also if later you want to trade your car its easy to put it back together.

It should look like this after cutting. You can paint the rod to black or any color you want. I was thinking about just puttin a black carbon fiber style pipe on it but cant find it.




Notice: I cut the black plactic rod about 2" higher than the rod. You can adjust that later.


7) First put the Base of the knob on the pipe.





8) Then Install the Adapter right where it is using the supplied Small Screw and Allen Wrench. Only use one Small Screw and secure it good so the A dapter does'nt move.




9) Attach the Center to the Base and put the Spring on top.



10) Attach the Top portions to the Center, Clean the Saw dust and you got your self a new knob. You have the press it down from now on.



Congratulations: You got yourself a new cool lookin interior. I get lots of compliments from my friends.





Take it to a test drive and get used to it but keep your fingers clear eveytime to put into "P" or you might hurt yourself from the coin box. It happened to me a few times

If you cannot take the key out after you put it in "P", dont panic. Just take the top of the knob out and make the adapter a li'l bit higher and try it again untill you can take it out. Test it a few times. It only happens happens when the shifter rod is pressed down.
