To anyone out there who owns or knows someone who owns the Mitsubishi factory silver aluminum alloy shift knob, could you please tell me what you have to do to make this thing fit right? I was hoping it would just work out of the bag, screw off the old leather knob, and screw on this knob. Well, I tried that, but when fully tightened the numbers don't line up at all They're like upside down. I was looking through the directions and it looked like you are supposed to tighten it down first and then put the sticker for the gears on, but it came to me with that already on there. I don't know if I should try taking the sticker off and regluing it on, or put some washers in to make it line up better....I'm not sure what to do. It cost $90 so I can't just get something different, and I love the way it looks. Anyone with some insight to this problem? Thanks!

just take the sticker off and re-align

 

Yeah, just push the sticker piece up from underneath with a screwdriver (going thru the thread opening). Then, put it in neutral, tighten down, and put on straight. I've realligned mine a couple times.

 

Awesome! That worked great, and now I can enjoy the new shift knob Thanks for the quick responses!

 

The knob is nice looking but will freeze your hand off during the cold winters. You will see what I mean.

 

yeah really, meeeeeechigan

 

Hot months suck too.. try living in Utah where it's freezing cold and then blazing hot... We have a titanium shift knob on our S2k and it's bad...

 

good 'ole stock leather baseball for me

 

Yeah, I'm keeping the stock one in the center console...if it gets too hot or too cold, I'll just switch them out

 

Exactly! That's why I sold mine that came with my Evo.

 

I'm just wondering where you can order the mitsu alloy shift knob

 

Too hot to hold on during hot days, replaced mine with a Ralliart shift knob.

 

does anyone know how to remove the sticker on a IX mr shift knob. i tried poking it out through the screw hole but that dosent work at all. the knob seems like its one piece but when i shake it, i can hear something moving around slightly inside.
any suggestions?

Bringing this back from the dead...

I have this knob in my MR, but for all I have tried, I cant remove it...does it just unscrew? I almost broke my wrist trying.

 

Theres an allen wrench screw under the sticker that needs to be loosened first. After that it will just spin off.
