Joe...thanks for the idea! I may redo this knob and go your route, no need for the release button. Let's see...prob 1/2" PVC tubing will slide nicely over the shaft housing. Got that. Then just need to figure out how to fit the knob onto the PVC pipe. I'm betting you drilled it out and glued it right into the knob?? Drop the plastic white thingy back in, cut to length, slide the new knob/shaft assembly over (after painting black), and that's it. Wow...this opens the door to MANY leather knobs. LOL...back to the drawing board!! |

Bingo! In fact, didn't have to drill out the knob at all, the pvc fit right in place. I did have to open up the inside of the pvc just a little with a drill bit so that it slipped over the factory shifter stalk. 5 minute epoxy took care of the bonding. It was really quite simple.

My legs are too long and my feet are too big to be futzing with Fiero pedals

I "futz" pretty good on a manual gearbox, and I like driving mountain roads when the manual seems to respond better.
That leads us to our next survey question. Is you Mera automatic or manual? I'll answer first.

All Meras are 5 speed manuals and the F308 rebody is a four speed manual.
