Installed new Momo shift knob today
Well I was always lukewarm about the feel and aesthetics of the factory auto stick knob that came on my car. So today my Momo Tube shift knob arrived in the mail. The model I chose is chrome with black leather inserts, they also come in different leather colors and a brushed finish.
I popped off the existing knob (without bashing the knob into my forehead, thanks to an earlier how-to posting) The new knob sat about an inch too high. I thought about slicing the shaft shorter, but then the old knob could never go back on. I solved the problem by drilling out the Momo from the bottom with a 11/32 drill and making the hole about an inch deeper. Now it fits nice and low, a bit lower than the OEM knob.

Looks good. I may have to try that with mine.

I was unaware that Viagra is now making automotive accessories.........
That's a nice matching of the burl-wood between your shifter and console. As for the feel of the Momo, I much prefer it over the amorphous shape and feel of the OEM knob.

Re: Installed new Momo shift knob today
Nice look Bimmer. I share your ambivalence about the factory knob.

Re: Installed new Momo shift knob today
Looks good - I like the lower fit. Very nice!

Re: Installed new Momo shift knob today
Yes I like the lower fit I need to lower mine also . Both of those Bimmer and MikeR Look really nice
I was trying to match the silver and managed to get it right I think ! :) Now I just need to lower it ... https://www.crossfireforum.org/galle.../IMG_00061.JPG |
Re: Installed new Momo shift knob today

Re: Installed new Momo shift knob today
Really nice shift knobs. The leather and silver looks cool. How hard is it to remove the original? Where can I buy a shift knob like these and is there a certain size to buy?

Re: Installed new Momo shift knob today
Interesting developments in this thread. I have one like this and contact Momo about drilling it deeper before I installed it. They didn't recommend it. I guess the guy I talked to didn't know their product very well.

You just unscrew the bottom collar and pull straight up, just just don't let it bash into your coconut! If it's really tight lay a big bath towel over the top before yanking.
I got my Momo shift knob on Ebay.
