here's some 640x480 photos...

the boot taken off, showing the shifter

everything i have, including momo shift knob + oem shift knob

close-up of the cut shaft

boot put back on to show length comparison

my current setup... knob is loose and mushy

trying to stuff the momo knob on unsuccessfully
i think the electric tape solution sounds like a good temp fix... but i'm curious... if i wanted to theoretically use the momo knob what would i do? could i just buy a short shift kit and pop on the momo knob with no problems? but then i still would have problems with the boot i guess.
so i guess the solution for now is just to wrap electric tape to shaft to make it thicker so the knob wont slide on/off so easily. and than glue the boot to the knob. would this fix the mushiness feeling.. or would i just prevent the sliding of the knob.
anyone who bought a short shift kit selling their stock one?
