Pics of shift knobs

Three Allen head set screws (Allen key is furnished) hidden under the brushed aluminum collar on the bottom of the knob. The knob also shortens the throw because it's drilled over an inch deeper than the stock screw-on version and drops down further on the stick.Morpheus said:
It comes with three polyurethane rings of various diameters, one of which fits the stick snugly. Drop the aluminum collar onto the stick, push the ring down onto the stick to the area where the screws on the knob intersect it when knob is fully seated on the stick, push the knob down over the ring and tighten the three Allen screws evenly, pull up the aluminum collar and screw it up onto the knob. Pull up the shift boot and it's finished.
I've had no problem with it in 12K miles. "Palm feel" and appearance is superior to the stock shift knob, IMO.
i have the kartboy short shifter too and you can't screw anything into it because the screws will tighten to the threads of the shifter. i have the Sparco Techno shift knob in the laser blue. it looks great with the laser blue mica paint, but it twists because i can't screw it in.

The MSP and the P5, as far as I know, have the same thread. Only the MP3 has different threads.AromaRoyale said:
if someone who has tried it could back me up, I'd appreciate it.
Aroma: I feel your pain. My Kartboy knuckleball knob is a b**** in the winter. I"m thinking of having someone knit a little booty for it.

I just bought one of those from my Mazda dealer. P/N 000-8R-C18.
It does not fit my Protege5
Where the top of the shift boot sits on the shifter, there is a lip, and the bottom of the MazdaSpeed knob bottoms out on that before it has even started to thread on.
Does anyone know of a mod that can get this to fit? The knob is super PIMP!!

It's soooo comfortable but soooo cold.
yea, you can use your stockie knob with the SS, I tried both and the TWM seems more solid, it's got some weight to it and it's freakin' height adjustable!! I still want the MSP one...
yo BLIZZARD , you say the MSP knob doesn't fit right cause of some lip? Do you have any pics, I bet we can figure out how to make it work....
shift knobs are the s***. I got some MOMO parts coming on Monday, new e-brake knob & boot, and a GRID thing...awesome. I was considering getting some hot MOMO knob and threading it myself.. I just don't really want to mess with cups and set screws, did that in my Neon, too much hassle and play...

twm has short shifter. It is the one that decreases the throw the most out of any SS for our cars. I have had it for about 2 years and love it. I am thinking about getting their wieghted knob as well

Only the knob is height adjustable... the shifter is not. The knob is threaded to fit our shifters, the set screws are just there for some added grip. Good stuff.
I didn't have any problems shifting.. I'm pretty strong though. The TWM is easier than the stock knob, but not an enormous difference.
