Hey guys,
I'm in the process of getting a new shift knob...I don't like the way my hand sometimes slides off on the 2-3 shift. That being said, I'm a huge fan of the American Muscle Style of showing the shift handle with a round knob on top. That being said, I see our shifter has that molded in plate that the shift boot sits on top of. Does this serve a purpose? I'm wondering if it's part of the downward push needed to get into reverse? I was thinking about dremeling the round plate off and going from there...maybe even fabbing up a Hurst Chrome stick with a white 6 speed knob? Just want to make sure I don't ruin the reverse function...also, I understand the shifter prolly wouldn't do too well with dust and debris but I could make sure the boot prevents that. Any thoughts on this?
