Gear Shift Knob

[asifallasleep]

My leather gear shift knob is loose. It started to turn so i removed it to find that it had been glued on somehow. I thought the leather knobs screwed on. However, my shifting rod does not have threads on it, nor does my shift knob. It's just all leather and slides on top of the rod.

Any ideas on how best to glue it back on, and/or should i purchase a new shifting rod and a new leather knob to screw on?

Is the top of the lever notched like a later style shifter? Maybe somebody before you went to a short shifter and then wanted to try and keep their early style shift knob.

If it is the later notched style shift lever, I would suggest a ZHP knob. Not period correct at all but I can easily say that it is the most comfortable and best feeling shift knob I have ever driven with.

heres another option that i just bought form i got mine in the titanium plated version with oem dogleg 5 pattern and it shifts like a dream it should when it weighs almost 0.5kg and if you do go for the glue option then maybe some epoxy but i would read the package for a list of what it will and wont stick to.good luck'>http://storm-motorwerks.com/interior/bmw/shift_knobs_v2/
