Question TWM ShortThrow Question

Hey all,

I just received my TWM kit in the mail! Is it possible to remove the shift knob that comes with the TWM short throw kit and swap for an aftermarket one? If so, is it threaded underneath? Thanks for any advice and help.

there should be a small allen wrench hole, you may need to loosen that before unscrewing it. Mine comes off with no trouble at all. not really sure why you're having any problems ill get some pics real fast

Notice at the bottom there are small hex key holes...



You can see there are three



Just loosen them all



and it should come right off, just screw it counterclockwise (to the left)
