Shifter knob, Rock Nobs
I want to get one of these and am trying to determine if it will work or not. Here's a link to them: http://www.rocky-road.com/rocknob.html The ad says they are for screw-on knobs only. I've been told ours slide on and have a set screw that holds it in place. Is that true? And if it is, how do you take it off? The company says it should still work if it has a round post no larger than 14mm. Can anyone confirm that?
Thanks for your help!

Re: Shifter knob, Rock Nobs
Our shift knobs are held on by a retaining screw which can be accessed by lowering the shift boot.

I just like to be different from others, and this is a little peice of difference. The timpanagos one, specifically. It will even match the interior.
Thanks, Slate. How do you lower the shift boot?

I agree, then it would be one of a kind.

Re: Shifter knob, Rock Nobs
I don't care for the rock knob, but to each his own.
I don't know how to remove the knob, but I took a look at it just now. The top of the knob is a chrome piece (with the shift diagram) surrounded by shiny black trim. You can pry this off with your fingernails by pulling gently up under the trim. Comes off real easy.
Underneath is a metal piece in the center of the knob, about the size of a nickel. It's crossed by a shallow groove. I don't know if the groove is for a screwdriver (seems too shallow for that) but maybe that's how you remove the knob.
Btw, you can tighten the insert by bending the attachment pegs slightly out. Be careful ... they're not very strong.
