Noticed today as I shift my knob was making a clicking noise, I ignored it and would 'worry about it later'

well later came around 9pm tonite, as I am at a stop, take off in 1st (at normal rate) and shift to second pretty hastfully, and there goes the knob, into the center of the car. ha..
Heres some pics of what the knob looks like and the stick. Also I noticed when I looked into passenger area the springy thing with foam on it, took a pic (I guess its for the reverse lock) as without the knob or that, the lock will come off the stick.





Maybe this is a good thing and I can put a custom one on?

 

Seems to be a common issue.

 

Happened to me yesterday. Nice brass nuckles by the way.

 

I've seen the shift diagram pop off (mine is), but never the whole thing.

 

same thing happened on mr redline. i left the spring out and smashed it back on. planning on getting shortshifter anyways.

 

Thanks, and I don't think i'll go with a shorter shifter just yet, although I am really interested in a new knob. I think I remember some other posts where you can get shifter re-done to allow "generic" knobs that will screw on.

 

dear god, look at those knucks.

Got a lot of enemys or what? lol
be sure and tuck'em under the seat if you get pulled over.

 

they're placed more carefully when I leave the city, and with train horns I have lots of enemies lol.

 

rofl..the train horn video on streetfire cracks me up everytime...poor cop and his eardrums

 

you could do some serious damage with those bad boys...

 

Wow you have a lot of brown stuff in the little slot between the silver ring the center counsel area, need to clean her. Whats up with the area around the radio painted blue?

 

yea, i want some dash shots, lol.

 

Ok it seems like the '05 guys have trouble with the shift knob poping off, and '06 guys have trouble getting the damn thing to budge! I installed my B&M shifter last night and had one hell of a time getting the stock knob off! I had to yank and pull and struggle for like 20 mins before the damn thing FLEW off. Wish I had your problem...

 

I was ripping through first gear and went to slam it into to second. I missed the shift and the knob abouy hit me in the head! Glad it didn't, I would have been out cold.

I took it to the dealer because it wouldn't stay together. To fix it they used epoxy. For that, I'm taking it to the dealer to have them intall my short throw.

 

I just put mine back on and hit it a couple of times and its stayin on fine

 

I spilled energy drink one time and thought I cleaned it up, I did on the black but I guess missed the silver part. that's rust, I need another one I guess.

heres part of the dash, looks lighter than it actually is. about the color of the seats in reality.

 

haha i hear you on the horn issue its so much fun though, my bro laughs b/c when it just even looks like im goign to get cut off my hand inches towards the horn lol

 

My plate on top of the knob popped off before I left, I was pissed, I couldn't afford super glue so I just opted for the B&M short throw...wink wink

 

Hey how did you do the paint process in the dash it looks nice?? what color did you use?

 

yup my little plate with the numbers popped off two days ago it sucks im going to take it back to the dealer to get a new one. Im looking to get the new B&M short throw as well.. Anyone know any place selling for a good price. Also I heard that the new short throws come in black.

 

turbotechracing.com for sure, SOOO easy to deal with and super fast shipping!

 

I used that krylon paint for plastics, the trim pieces just pop out, for the center you should remove the left and right trim pieces first, then remove center.

The plastic cap on top of the knob fell off along time ago, I put emblem adheasive under it, and it wont budge now. But this time, the Entire Knob came off.

 

That is the same thing that happens in SRT-4's! What is this world coming to when GM quality can be relatively compared to Chrysler's?! J/K

 

When it happened, the first thing I thought about was the srt-4 lol.

 

happened to me today too...
