Swapping a shift knob safely
A shift knob screws onto the shifter and is held in place by its threads. When the threads are damaged during installation, the factory knob may no longer thread back on, so the original part can be lost for practical use. Before starting, inspect the shifter threads on the factory knob and decide whether you want to keep it for later.
Keep the factory knob in a safe place until the new one is confirmed to fit and operate smoothly. Clean the shifter threads before fitting, and avoid forcing the knob if it resists. A knob that is too tight or threaded at an angle can bind the shifter, so check the fit before driving.
- Inspect the factory knob threads before removal
- Keep the factory knob stored safely
- Clean the threads before fitting
- Check the shift action before driving
