Hey All.
Does anyone know where i can get the adaptors for a shift knob? I changed mine and the knob is really loose. all it is is a round piece of plastic that fits in the knob and the set sqrews hold it in place. I'll try to post some pics of what it looks like and how loose it is :P
As Always any help is greatly appreaciated. Thanks!

Should just twist off. mine had one of those (ugly and uncomfortable) cobras on it. if it doesnt twis off put visegrips on the botom and try twisting. the shaft has threads on it.

where did you get the new knob from? it should have come with 2-4 caps and 2 sets of screws, depending on the size of the original shaft.

Ebay my good friend. I know what your thinking. It was unopened. rest assured. there were three adapters none of which fit and one set of screws

hmm...thats interesting. check your local aftermarket parts store. thats my only other suggestion. if you're in the GTA check out pacific mall at steeles and kennedy. there are a few car parts stores in there that carry knobs and stuff. hope that helps.
