I have done a dilligent search and have yet to discover if the shift knob just unscrews or what. I know in my vette, I had to use an clamp on adapter to allow a threaded knob. Is this car the same way? does the knob just unscrew? I don't wanna break anything. I know the thread is 8mmx1.25...at least according to the different threads I have been surfing. Thanks.

It just unscrews...righty-tighty, lefty-loosey.
Nice vette by the way!
Is your Maggie bagged? Damn that's low. Looks mean.

Might I suggest..........

Aftermarket knobs suck. Period. Bought a $150 MOMO knob for my R/T and it sat up about 2" higher than stock (annnnnoying), and had a generic fitment using rubber sleeves so it never felt secure. When I bought the SRT I decided to stay away from knobs altogether because of this experience.

Then came along SRT8OC.com member DEERAM who announced making these custom fit (threaded) and when I saw the revolver cylinder design I HAD to have one. I made two requests which he filled within an hour. Fill in the lettering with red paint, and lower the knob to exactly stock height. BAM! $110 well spent.

I could not be happier. It feels awesome in the hand, and the flat-top design is easier to use than the stock shifter. This is hands down one of my favorite mods.

I have one just like Bandit's (thanks again DEERAM) with the R/T in the top. I painted the letters myself. Bandit is right though, great mod for this car!

the biggest problem with changing just the shifter knob is seeing how skinny the shaft is with it. the stock shifter looks like a freak'n pencil. oh, and yes, the stock knob just screws on.

I have this knob from DEERAM with 300C on it

Did you paint the letters yourself

If so, what did you use?

I asked DEERAM to do it before he shipped it.

It does look skinny, but depending on the knob you put on it, it can look just fine.

I'd let a squirrel bite my left nut for a shot at 65standard's shifter, but it's waaaaay too much work for me to tackle. What an awesome, and CLASSIC way to go.

Thanks for your guys input. And thank you, John for the compliment on the vette. Yes, the maggie is bagged. We did it about January/Februaryish 2005.
