DIY shift knob swap

Drew · #1 06-06-2007, 11:11 PM

got me some bling. . .

they were on a slight back order, however I like the results. . .looks very slick

anyway, to the shifter. here is what the stock shifter looks like for the NV5600. . .and as you can see I have a slightly inverted H pattern

to remove the old ball just get a small flat tip and pry the center cap out.

once you have the center cap out, it just takes a 15mm socket to remove the retaining nut, then the stock shifter ball just spins off.

now onto the bling

here is the new ball next to the old

and the new one mounted

the new ball is about the same size as the old shifter knob. . .but it definately stands out[8D]

Where is the bling? Why the how to on the shifter knob? I'm confused. [sm=dontgetit.gif]

Never mind, I posted between your first one and your second one.

BTW you suck, I was gonna get one of those, now I'll have to make my own.

I was thinking about just taking it off and leaving a threaded rod to shift with[8D]
