Damn shift knob!!!

put a piece of tape on the bare shifter button, it should make the shift knob be able to push against the shifter to shift.

Damn shift knob!!!

hey whats up guys. i recently bought an aftermarket shift knob for my 99 ce, auto.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...7941589319&rd=1

i got around to putting it in today, but when i installed it, i cant get the button thing to go down enough to be able to shift gears. and when i bolt the knob furthur down, pushing the shifter thing a little bit more, i cant take my key out. please help me!

uhm...you get what you pay for?

i got the same thing and its a POS, might as well remove the screws and let it be a free standing knob,

sweet! ill fuck with it somehow and make it work.

oh and Rolla02, what do you mean by free standing? like leave it loose and just push it down to shift?

yup, thats how mines is, the vibration from my exhaust and my lowered ride stripped the threads on the screws

sorry, could you ellaborate more on that?

I have mine working just fine, just play around with it, its easy enough to do, you just have to get it at the right height, make sure you take all of the old shift stuff off, including the green plastic peice and the spring, so its just a bare metal bar, then have it in park, and put the shift knob on so the metal peice pushes the button up, then put the screws in and you should be good to go.

You cant just tape the metal peice down, as you wont be able to take the key out of the ignition if you do, the bar has to be up for the key to come out of the ignition

i had that same problem with a very similar shift knob... the button is just not long enough to eighter push the mtal rod all the way down or let it loose all the way up. Get another shifter, you could use that one on your e-brake.

i think i might have to go with Fox's advice. chr12is, i see what u are trying to say, but i messed with it for like an hour, and i cant get it at a right height, simply because it seems impossible for the button to push the shifter down enough to shift gears.

Try to look into the Razo quick shift knob... thats what i´m getting or any other push down style knob...

make something like a shim or something between the shift knob and the shifter. here ill draw a picture that i hope comes out good.

thanks for the picture, but something tells me that still wont work. because no matter how long you make the "shim" or whatever, the button will still be pushing the shifter down in the same length. The button is restricted, therefore, i need to try and make the button be able to descend more.

I got the rs-type shift knob and works perfect. If you don't care about not being able to put the stock shifter back on I cut the outer and inner metal parts to make it look shorter. Maybe if you cut the outer part enough you'll have enough space for the inner part to move.

My god, how do you keep your carpets so clean.

hehe alot of turtle wax upholstery cleaner and shout carpet cleaner. I need to keep them clean for shows and surprisingly I don't use those clear floor mats over them to protect the carpets anymore.

Well that is a generic shifter. So your going to get what you pay for.

im so glad i got fucked on this one. NOT

thnx for the help bro... but i dont think it'll actually work... cause the button is just too damn short... best bet is to get a push down shifter for our cars...
