Need a new shifter knob

[peepsalot]

Nope, why do you say that. That is the stock boot and it is now way too huge, I might try cutting it down.

i guess that is a difference i didnt know about, the 03.5 boot has yellow stiching to match the seat stiching, i didnt know the boots were different, thought just the knobs.

Anyone got some suggestions for a knob that goes well in our cars? I just installed a kartboy SS and I find out the stock knob ain't gonna work.
So many aftermarket knobs look like cheap crap to me, even ones that you can pay almost 100 for. I don't feel like spending much more than $20 on a damn knob, and I'd just like it to look simple and classy. Any suggestions?

am i right to assume you bought the regular kartboy protege short shifter and not the kartboy msp short shifter? because i thought the msp short shifter was supposed to fit the msp knob!

btw, have you parted with the stock knob yet?

The MSP and the P5 have the same thread. It's the MP3 that has different.

I want to throw a vote to the Kartboy knob. It's great:

Actually the length of the threading on the MSP is longer than that of the MP3 and P5. Trust me, I have a MSP and bought a shifter for a P5.

look at nopi's clearance section got a kick a$$ knob for $9.99+ shipping but it matches the interior great

I guess I got the regular protege shifter, I bought it used and didn't realize the knob would be an issue.
I still have the stock MSP knob, but I doubt you'd want it cause the leather part of it is kinda worn, and the top right of it is scratched to all hell from the ring I wear.

ah, thanks for clearing that up. i was thinking of gettin the kartboy msp shifter and 2003.5 msp knob.

I've got a KBSS for my P5, but now that i'm getting an MSP i guess i'll be selling the P5 shifter to get the MSP one.

The Kartboy SS can be threaded to make it fit the stock knobs I think. Try emailing him.

If you buy a new one don't get one that has a huge logo on it. Those just look ricey imo.

Just keep the P5 one, unless you really want the MSP knob to stay in the car. I have TWM's P5 shifter, no problems.

Turns out my MSP already has KB Short shifter and bushings.

Why don't you think it will work? I have one and it works just fine...

if you're still looking for a knob, i've got a kartboy that i'm no longer using, and a greddy counterweight. for some reason the greddy will not fit on my kb ss, other people have it and it works, it just doesn't like the kb. either way, i'll post it in the fs section tonight.
