Msport Shift Knob Installed

bavarian19 · 01-30-2006, 05:19 PM

Here she is...

DIY... pull knob off, pull boot off. Push boot down, push knob down. Much easier than the steering wheel I did this weekend...

Pics:

p.s. Dont mention how dusty my interior is...

Shorter throws and its weighted... Seems like an easier throw than stock...

After I installed mine, I kinda forgot about getting the Rogue SSK, although when I really think about it, I wonder how much better it would feel combined with a SSK!

BTW, when I took of the standard knob, it felt like plastic, the weighted knob is perfect! Not too heavy...

About an inch shorter.

On the pics it doesn´t look as short as the short-shifter from the M-Package on the first of the following pics. the second one shows the longer M-Shifter which comes with X-drive.

HRC · 01-31-2006, 01:03 AM

I think it the camera angles. Either way, I can tell you the it's about an inch shorter than stock.

Here is a link to previous thread with parts number. I was wondering if bavarian19 order the same product by asking him to post his part number. The previously posted thread talks about at least 3 shift knob so i want to make sure I get the right one if I decide to order one.

Thanks HRC

shuzmaker · 01-31-2006, 11:33 AM

Cute.
Short and stubby.
Do they make it for the Step?
