Hey I know this is probably really easy but can someone give me instructions on how to install a shift knob?
I really dont have experience installing anything on my car except for my intake and the shift knob didn't come with any instructions.

Thanks

 

if you have a manual trans, just twist it off to the left and twist the new one on.
for automatic theres 2 screws behind the shifter, take those out and put the new one and and tighten the screws on the new one whichever way they go.

 

I have a manual trans but when I bought the knob, the guy was telling me to put teflon tape on something.. *******it I wasn't listening! and it came with these spacers to adjust the height.

 

and if it is not a screw on knob, select the right sized plastic cup it came with and then tighten the screws (usually 3 of these) around it till it is nice and tight. Lock tite (sp?) helps too.

 

I believe that teflon tape will just keep the knob from twisting around the shifter.

 

I just looked at it again and it doesn't have threads where you can screw it on.. it came with 5 pieces of black cylinders with no threads?

 

So where do I put the teflon tape? and how do I screw it on? Sorry imma newb..

thanks

 

you'll make threads by screwing on the one that fits closest

 

pics would help, or even what brand and model. But if it has no threads, then it should have those little screws that basically pinch the shifter. If not, it would be hard to keep it in place, even with teflon tape. Post some pics though.

 

how do i post pics? do i need a website to host the pics?

 

its an Ractive Shift knob TK-157KEV
thats what it says on the box.

 

Here are the pics of the Shift knob if it helps.

 

those little black things....find the one that fits over the bar connected to the tranny that doesnt come off when u unscrew the stock nob. when u take off the stock one, make sure u take off the white plastic thing (i think)......find the black plastic cylinder that came with the new nob that fits the tightest over the stock shift bar. slide it on all the way. then u should be able to just put ur new nob on tob of that and it prolly has screws in it that you have to tighten to the plastic to keep it on and from twisting.

my ichiban nob was that way.

 

Thanks a lot! I'll try that!

 

I don't think there are screws.. the guy at the autoshow said that I should use teflon tape.. but I wasn't listening when he told me what piece to put the tape on.. do I put it on the black cylinder things?
