Drift Gear Knob

[trel]

Bought a drift gear knob today. This is gonna be a dumb question but the thing will not go on. Below the thread on the shifter there is plastic which stops the thread from the knob going over it. What I was thinking of doing was possibly getting a grommet of some sort and putting it in the knob itself and wedging it to the gear stick. Not a good idea or other suggestions maybe?

If i pull off the leather surround would that plastic bit come off?

Cheers,

Evan

Bloke told me to put a piece of garden hose in the bottom of the knob and yeah, should be fine

Dude, i bought one of these a while ago, sick looking gunmetal one, heavy as anything.. anyway theres no grub screw or anything with it and it doesnt fit my gtr.. it has a few plastic sleeves but all are far too big so i cant twist it on,, i jammed it on once with brute force but it eventually came off so i'm using my old one.. fkn biggest waste of $80 ever.. needs a metal jacket and grub screws

actually, I just put it on tonight to test (interior is ripped apart), and the medium gromet works perfectly, didnt use a hose or anything else.

I have the short, fat, heavy gun metal knob as well, and it goes on perfect.

Trel, yes I is karadoxx, who are you?

Oh and by the way, i cut off some of my garden hose, chucked the chopped piece in a mug of boiling water (kettle boiling) for about 5 mins then slid it over the top of the shifter and rammed the gear knob over it. Used a bit of force but it looks awesome now. Sits perfectly flush with the leather boot. Awesome looking shift knob.

oh snap, trello?

I ended up using the plastic bit that came with the knob, medium sized one, it worked fine.
