Can i change out my shift knob with any other knob i want or do i have to find a certain type?

 

They sell some at auto part stores lol

 

yeah but i want to get a nicer one and i was just wondering if i could make it fit or if i had to buy like the same shift knob

 

U can remove urs so u can check while shopping at the store

 

I haven't really heard of anyone replacing shift knobs only, other than better condition stocks, but u can try

 

stock one is pressed on unless its a base model

 

Contact TWM via email, they sell a HHR SS adapter that allows you to run aftermarket threaded shift knobs

 

theyve got a lock mechanism on them so you dont accidentally spin it off when youre shifting. You can buy an adapter that lets you use universal screw on knobs, but without that adapter, they wont thread on.

 

or just get a TWM STS, great setup.

 

Pressed on how? I just removed mine last week lol
Edit: I get it now lol

 

thanks

 

no threads =P

 

Base model is pressed on also

 

I had no idea twm made something like this. That's awesome. How hard is it to remove the stock knob?

 

Just need 2 flathead screwdrivers, and in some case a Torx screw has to be unscrewed under the shift pattern cap (you can pop that off with a flathead as well

 

Sounds easy, so all you would need is that adapter and then a new shift knob?

 

Their adapter may or may not work with other aftermarket shift knobs, they keep the thread pitch on the adapter secret

 

Yeah I had planned on just buying a knob from them, this works fine with the reverse lockout?

 

Doesn't affect it

 

TWM knobs are made to work with reverse lockouts, they have an area in the knob to compensate for the RL to slide "into the knob" so to say.

Here's a picture of my TWM knob to explain:



Blurry, but there's the threads in the middle and then the extra gap around it for the reverse lock to slide into, hope that helps

 

Appreciate the help ^. This may be a dumb question, I know that the TWM knobs were made to work with TWM's sts's reverse lockout, but will it work with the stock one? Isn't the stock one a little misshapen and not perfectly round? Or am I imagining that?

 

Exactly what I was wondering, I'll try and find out this week for ya

 

Awesome thanks! That would be awesome if you could just buy an adapter and a new knob rather than pay for the whole sts setup
