some guys may think Im crazy or a little weird for wanting to do this but I have grown up around old school muscle...I was wondering how to get the shifter knob off of my 5 spd cause I would like to put the old style Hurts T handle on it. Any help would be appreciated.

 

twist the end of the boot to the left (make sure your twisting the ring under the boot not the boot it self) and then pull up like hell and it should come off. if you have an ss it MIGHT be different but seeing that you have a 08 it should be the same

 

dude that would be cool! oldschool muscle FTMFW

 

thanks for the help...I popped it off quick but found out that it is not threaded. Not sure if the Hurst will work on it but will keep you posted.

 

yeah it's not threaded thats the only problem.

 

lol 5 speed muscle...

 

Managed to get it figured out...my dad has a tap and die set and I managed to get the shifter threaded. I went away from the T handle and got a pistol grip instead. Actually looks pretty cool, just the armrest gets in the way of easy shifting to the gears on the bottom side (2nd and 4th) cause of the way you grip the shifter...something I can live with though.

 

pics or ban and move the arm rest up

 

post some pics man....

 

 

that is sick !!!!!

 

that's pretty tight.

 

Thanks

 

yeah i definitely like it.

 

how hard was it to put on ??

 

so what does a t handle look like on there anyway? pistol grip looks nice by the way. nice job

 

it wasnt hard to install at all. the biggest issue I thought I would have with getting the threads on it was the stick not being completely rounded...its a half with a flat front. the knob comes with 6 adapters I believe to make it compatable with standard or metric threads. I chose the 1/2 20 standard thread and used a tap and die set. its all simple stuff you can get at your local auto parts. I dont think the T handle would look to bad except for leaving a little bit larger gap between the handle and the shifter boot. In all I would say it took less than 5 minutes to do the whole job....spent more time in lone at the auto parts buying the knob than I did putting it on

 

im at work so i dont know if there are pics or not. I hope so if not. Pics or ban

 

see man...i told u to post pics...lol

oh and btw if you dnt want your arm rest..i will gladly buy it from ya...

 

Man.... I REALLY wanted to see the HURST T-handle installed!! Pistol grip is OK,,,, but has that Chrysler Products look.
