repairing a cut shift knob...

[ehD]

not knowing anything about metal work and the such... what would i use to grind it down.. can i just use good ol fashion sandpaper? btw this approach seems a lot better

[ehD]

ok i filed down the shaft a bit, covered the momo handle with a towel, and hammered it in. torqued it tight. wrapped a metal wire around the shaft thru the inverted boot. hope this solution lasts...

From your pictures the shaft was cut like you said.

Then I see a picture of the mushroom shift knob used on a 1997-1999 2.5. That knob will no longer lock down because the groove has been cut off. And the boot has been cut off the knob.

Then I see an aftermarket shift knob that would usually screw into a threaded round shift lever, but the Box has a flat lever.

No, they make them with 3 screws and you tighten them on.

yea.. i don't know how long those three screws will hold it in.. how are the short shift kits for boxsters... are they made rectangular too for the oem knobs or are they more 3rd party knob friendly?

[djomlas]

nope, look the same as oem ones.

[ehD]

thats a bummer.. so how do people normally go about adding other knobs...?
