Shift Knob

[oldskoul]

Do these come off?   When i twist it the stem twists also.

Is that a five speed stem?

The knob pulls off of those.

They do twist off the four speed stems, but you have to hold the stem, to keep it from rotating with the knob.

5 Speed Stem.  Thanks '76mintgrun'02 it pulled off.

They are not threaded on, but a push on friction fit, with a slot at the top of the stem that indexes the knob to the stem.

Now the hunt to find a nice one that will fit.    i hate this one. 

Perhaps a AMCO wood shift knob/leather BMW center

Amco knobs are thread on not push on like yours

So......if you are willing to get crafty you can modify the 5sp shift knob....takes a bit of work.....pull off the aluminum damped portion of the lever....this involves a lot prying and swearing. Then get some .75 aluminum stock...drill one end to slide over the steel portion of of the 5 speed lever....drill and tap the side for some set screws to keep it from spinning. then turn down the other side and thread it to 15X1.5mm (thread size for bmw screw on shift knobs)....I can snag some pics of my set up if you are interested

Ireland Engineering makes some pretty cool press on knobs now.
