How about some pics of cool shift knobs
I'm looking for ideas on a shift lever knob other than the norm, any ideas or pictures?

Re: How about some pics of cool shift knobs
I was at the KC goodguys car show and saw a cue ball shift knob. I didn't buy it on Saturday and thought about it. On sunday I went looking to buy it, and couldn't find it

Re: How about some pics of cool shift knobs
I just went through this same thing.....looking for a unique shift knob.
Check out speeddawg.com, if you looking for a round knob. There are a few other online shift knob places that offer anything you can think of to mount to a shifter. I ended up having speeddawg make a custom shift knob with an inlaid shift pattern that I designed. Its going on a 6 speed. |

Re: How about some pics of cool shift knobs
Old crystal door knobs look cool. So do lawn mower pistons

Re: How about some pics of cool shift knobs
Just checked out speeddawgs site alot of cool ideas there, but I think I like the lawn mower piston idea by special K. I'd have to search for this if nobody has any pics of one.

Re: How about some pics of cool shift knobs
You can buy just the ithreaded inserts to fit your shift lever and turn anything you want into a shift know.
Go find a junk lawnmower and use that piston. That would be cool. |

Re: How about some pics of cool shift knobs
I used to have a unique glass ball shifter in a 1938 International truck that I inherited from my grandfather many years ago. It was a creme colored glass ball with green multi-colored swirls in it.
My Uncle got the truck before I could remove that ball and I have never been able to find another one. It would be perfect in my '69 Chevy... Al |

Re: How about some pics of cool shift knobs
I was just at a Harley dealer yesterday and was looking at their cue balls with the HD eagle logo thinking that would be a cool one to make into a knob.

Re: How about some pics of cool shift knobs
This was my shifter for several years. A 1 1/8 wrench drilled and bolted to a hurst comp-plus. I grew tired of it though after time.
![]() Here's my new setup. Plain vanilla hurst. It goes along with the minimalist style of my truck. It's similar to the original knobs of some very cool old GM cars. ![]()

Re: How about some pics of cool shift knobs
I have one of the 8 ball shifters in my truck. Some guy sells them on Ebay.

Re: How about some pics of cool shift knobs
Here's my home made shift knob, it's from a worn out small block cam. I still need to paint and polish it up, but it does work quite well.
