Anyone know of any automatic aftermarket shift knobs that will work for us? My botton fell off the first day I bought the car and now that I have to shift it all the time it's getting a little uncomfortable on my thumb.

Thanks.

I love you Al. . . in a very heterosexual way.:nod: Does it have the cap included? If so just bring it to work sometime this week, I'll swing by on my way to work and pick it up.

Thanks again man!

A friend of mine retrofitted a stainless round, door knob onto the shifter of his Saab Sonnett II. He cut it off just after the knob turns into a cylinder, and added 3 triangulated set screws. By far the best shift knob I have EVER used--really.

I had a skull in my baron for a while. You know the one that the eyes light up.


But, in light of it falling apart in my hand one day, I opted for installing a Hurst T-handle shift knob.

yeah...I personally like the stock shift knobs...the older ones that is on the 80s TD's. I like the 8-ball and skull shifters and even the Hurst ones on older hot rods :D
