I haven't had any problems with my shift knob coming loose. I think the car has seen -20*F so far.

have not had problems with my greddy shiftknob also but we dont get -20 here

My bad meant this shift knob. Whenever it gets below 39*F it's loose and wants to turn. Soon as it gets warmer, say 49*F I cant move the damn thing. Might be because it's aluminum. Might get the greddy one since it can handle the -20. What's the greddy one made out of?

minés(greddy counterweight) made of metal so its hot when it's hot and cold when it is.
greddy superlight is plastic (not sure what material)

great writeup!

None at all. {thumbup}

ok well you didnt show us how to remove the shifter lol. I was also looking to see about rmoving the shifter boot. I dont want to screw things up though. I wish you would of spent some more time on removal and installation, what was the goob all over the shifter during install and such, sorry if I should rude, im not being that, just need more guidance lol

We provide a detailed installation manual with every short shifter we sell, including all the pictures on how to remove the stock shifter and shift boot prior to installing the short shifter:

This might sound really noob but is there a chance that this will void my warranty if something happens to my trans?

Just switch back to stock if something does go wrong.

+1 to that, idk why i didnt think of it.

thx for the write up. good job!!

Thank you for this - it helped when I installed mine.

nice write up

the stock "upgraded" knob is made out of an aluminum shell and a plastic insert. the insert is glued on and will thermally contract and expand faster than the metal. that's why you get the loose/tight turns depending on the temperature. or if it's even worse and has split apart, i was auto crossing and the metal part came right off the plastic on me. that was fun.
