another shift knob question haha

**pcriso2** · 10-10-2008, 10:04 PM

So i've been searchin for a while and there haven't really been any solid answers to the question i have...which is this. Does anyone have a shift knob with the button on the front? like they have on some GM's, BMW's, and Volvo's? Has anyone done or attempted this?

here's the kind im talkin about:

thanks!!

It depends on the knob itself - the handle you use has to be able to push down on the shift controller to change gear selection.

The first knob pictured *looks* like it actually pulls up, as the pivot point on the button looks to be at the top of the button. It probably would not work on a Galant.

The second knob with the wood grain might work, as the pivot point on the button appears to be on the bottom, so that it would push down - that one might work on the Galant as long as it fit on and is able to be secured to the shifter shaft.

A cheap but in my opinion nice way out of buying one of those but still get an aftermarket look is the 7G shifter knob

You could try a lancer OEM AT shift knob. It has the button in front and should fit perfectly. It would look the cleanest IMHO, that's what I was planning before my swap.

Its great that you are searching, but help me help you by posting pics since you already have seen I did Acura MDX not lancer and dont know all the shift knobs in the world by heart. Have you test fitted it at all?
