After going though the search feature for a thread that I replied to here about 2 weeks ago, it seems to have disappeared into thin air.

So….

Lets see all those aftermarket shift knobs for the manual transmissions as well as where you got a hold of it please.

Post 'em if you got 'em & thanx in advance!

My problem with aftermarket knobs is they always have that crappy alan screw to hold it on and its only in one spot. They never stay on and always come loose after a while. Do any of you guys know of good looking shifters that actually screw right on?

Ichibahn racer series black & yellow leather shift knob drilled out to fit over a shortened shifter. I cut the shifter rod down myself and then rethreaded it.

I always screw in the set screws then remove the knob.
You can see where the screws marked the shaft and can drill holes for the set screws.
My knob has not come loose so far.

A requirement for any shifter:

All I need to do know is figure out how to make it operate as a shift light and N02 control.

I had a Firebird about 10 years ago, and I thought the shift knob on that was a round black ball, but don't remember. That's what I'd like to find for mine. I've already got the short shifter and new leather boot, just want to replace the stock gray knob. I do have a round knob somewhere in the house that I had on a monster Mazda truck (302 V-8 and T-5R trans), but don't know where it is or if it will fit the Fiero shifter. If I ever find it I'll give it a try and post the picture if it fits.

We got this on OrchidWild's '86..

http://www.flameball.com/Pewter/PW2-Dragon.htm

flameball will custom tap each of their products to match your OEM replacement. The biggest problem with this is.. the stock knob has a VERY long shank and sinks down on the shifter. The replacement doesn't screw down as far, so it increases the length of the shifter rod.

As soon as I get a free sunday (and a tap and die kit) I'm going to cut an inch and a half off of her shifter and re-thread it to bring it back to it's pretty much stock height.

It's kinda orthopedic right now

Here's the only pics of it I have. Got it from Thunder Racing ( http://www.thunderracing.com/ ) Its supposed to be for an F-Body, but the Fiero Manual Shifter is the same size as the F-Body, so any F-Body shift knob will fit.

This is an old Hurst shifter handle. The tap size to fit the Fiero manual shift lever is 16mm x 1.50.

Mine is a real Cue Ball. Having big hands it is just right for me !!!
It was drilled and a brass insert installed with the correct threads so it
screws right on.

Momo Shifter Knob

WOW

Proud of their knob aren't they?
$77.oo, do you really think that it's worth it once you got it? Or should I look for a knockoff of the original?

Will say that it looks good though!
