Cable bushings to be installed this weekend![/url]

And I still need a new shift boot.

what's wrong with that boot? I don't have any issues with mine getting bunched up or anything. You're gonna love the bushings! They are a pretty easy install, especially if you have an intake already.

Yeah, I'm really excited about the bushing. I've heard so many people say that it makes the car feel so much better.

ignore the ridiculous height.. its on a megan short shifter now..


You got that shift knob off of a mustang!


When i first got my tc, me and my buddies went to a mustang dealership to take the shift knob to see how they look.

IMO, it doesn't look too appealing :doh:

doc i's

any1 ming chiming in on the cost of your shift knobs? im trying to get a nice one but i dont feel that 50$ for a shift knob is resonable but the ones i really like are way outta price range. i like hte sparco globex but its 80 on average. any suggestions on getting one for a decent cost

I got the Sparco Speed for $78........one of the best mods yet......spendy though......

This is my custom weighted Doc Iso Hula shift knob with shift boot collar. It sits on top of my TRD quickshifter that I just won 2 weeks ago. It is an awesome combo. The shifts were much better with the quickshifter then i just got this knob in the mail today (Thanks Doc you rock). I threw it on and now it feels even better when shifting. Its great.

in my opinion the most bad ___ knob on the market, it was a bit pricey though. momo gotham

and the sparco basic shift boot, i got it with the silver trim though.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b388/troy2003/sparco.jpg

Well my buddy has that shifter and i have driven his car. I liked it and he likes it. I am not feeling the knob. But why didnt you get a momo boot to go with that knob? I think a sparco booot should go with a sparco knob!

i had the momo carbon shift boot ordered, but it was discontinued....so i went this route

that short shifter looks tight but yea i agree, dont mix match momo knob and sparco boot..that would look too funky imo but its your ride

thanks for the advice...but take a look at the progress on my ride....and then all else on here....im pretty sure ive done ok so far....and if ya read my last post youd understand the reason....they didnt not have my initially ordered boot anymore, discontinued....if i dont like it im sure ill be swapping it out soon anyways, thanks guys!! :)

advice taken.....

nice, i have the same shift knob..how did you get the ebrake to go on?

Ebrake handle goes on just like all sparco items withthe allen set screws,I have same knob and brake handle and handle just went on over the handel and tighten the screws,had to make a new boot to cover the back side of handle,but other than that they go right on.....they are also much bigger than the picture makes them look.

does the ebrake get in the way?

with a short shifter that is real short it could.

hey guys, im looking into getting a classic roush shift knob and was wondering what size thread we have on our shifter

12 i believe for manual and 9 for automatics

hmm...

well this is the one im thinking about getting, tell me if you think it will fit or if i will need an adapter

http://www.americanmuscle.com/roush-2005-retro-knob-white.html

hmm...not sure if it will fit but shouldnt it? Mustangs thread is the same as ours...gotta check that up but since you are going for that style, check out cusco. They have a nice knob that fits the is300 manual so it should fit ours too. Same white ball style but better numbers and weight

thanks for the advice domo

yeah i just found out that our thread and ford's is both 12x1.25

im not too fond of the cusco knob

i know alot of people have been getting mustang knobs lately but would it be weird getting a knob that says roush on it? its the only one i can find in white with the 5 speed ingraved that i like...

yea im looking for a white one too...Roush would be weird because its made for American Muscle..other then that I just picked up a is300 knob from some dude on ebay. I picked it up for my girl but it turns out it does not FIT! I think the dude gave me a generic one because it doesnt fit on the is300 autos either!! ____ed -.- does anyone know if the is300 manuals came out with the same chrome ball?

i have an 09 xB shift knob in my tC, it looks awesome, matches the silver dash, and looks factory, plus its wicked comfortable

PICS yo!

and looks factory

I wonder why that is... :doh:

:rofl:

no name ebay short shifter and shift knob. knob is threaded and is the same material as a bowling ball i think. it doesn't burn my hand when my car has been parked in the sun like the old obx knob.

i know you posted your question a few months ago but..http://www.canadiandriver.com/news/01images/02is300mt_dash.jpg
heres a picture for you

I need some help deciding which knob to go with:

Sparco R-Speed (http://www.sparcousa.com/ptuning_knobs.asp?id=319) (Not sure if it's too tall)

Sparco Globe-R (http://www.sparcousa.com/ptuning_knobs.asp?id=322)

Momo GTR2 Knob (http://www.ltbmotorsports.com/momogtr2knob.html)

Which would you guys recommend?

my buddy has the Rspeed on his stick and it sits fine,nice choice......the center of the ball is where the shaft ends.

I have it also on my Automatic and it sits fine too.....

One thing to note is be careful to get it centered and tighten each pin down evenly to keep it centered or you risk overtightening a pin and stripping the aluminum threads.

$80 for a shift knob??, no thank you!! lol

$80 for a shift knob??, no thank you!! lol

haha i got the ebrake handle and boot to match too......it is nice but spendy

What is a "short shifter"? Like, what is its purpose? I hear people talking about them on here constantly but I really don't understand what a short shifter does.

exactly what it says, it shortens the shifts. The tC kind of has a long throw, takes awhile to go to the next gear, a short shifter shorts the throw.

So it's just less back and forth movement between the gears? Maybe it's only because i've been driving manual transmission for a week, but it doesn't seem like there is a large amount of back and forth movement between the shifting of gears.

like it shortens the length in between the gears, like going to 1st to 2nd. It shortens that length and makes it stiffer and smoother for the most of them.

Here is mine with my freshly installed megan short shifter.

does anyone else shiftknob looked like this? theres a lot of the stick left. will getting a docs short shifter help it?

Yup or any short shifter.

thanks dq

no problem. If you are looking for a good short shifter at a good price go for megan ss for $65 shipped. Thats what I have and love it!

Wow that's an awesome interior, are those seatcovers or actual seats?

Thank you. Clazzio seat covers FTMFW! I love them, they hold up nicely.

Put the sparco back on, lol

not feelin the mustang knob, it looks good with stockish interiors, but the sparco went real well with your setup!

Yeah thats what I think, but gonna try it out for a bit. Does it look to stockish?

i didnt know you had a sparco knob DQ. i like them both with your interior to be honest.

but i do like that sparco one lol

Its all good. I just get tired of things fast so I will just switch it up every now and again. Gotta keep it funky.

i have the mustang knob personally, nice clean flow.

dam bro how many mustang shift knobs you own??

i got one for myself and the one i sold you and the other i sold svenspades. i have another im gonna put up soon lol

i wanted one..ended up with 4? lol

haha you buy by the bulk..lol. Did you ever get rid of that lens?

lol wasn't trying to. I paid for one, and got 3 extra, idk if the dude messed up the order lol.

yeah I got rid of both of them. I want the 35mm now badly

Lucky bastard!

i like the sparco more too. It goes better with your theme too me.

:ponder: yeah it does. The mustang one kinda reminds me of the stock one the tC came with. Ill try it out for a bit than prolly sell it.

http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n76/dqlostsoulz/DSC_0064edit.jpg

I think I need to shine up the mustang knob because it looks too dull. Maybe thats why it kinda doesn't go?

I just think the sparco one fits better with your theme for some reason. I like the mustang shift knob too.

gotta fix the height of the collar today.

Dude, I really love the e brake and the boot. The Boot seems like it will really match the stock leather on my new xB well. One question though.

Eh, might as well. Those stickers are coming off ASAP!

I havent had much luck with this either :(

I intend to bondo the whole area level, as to not tell where the boot/boot-plate was. The idea is to have only the hole for the shifter instead of a hole in the boot mounting bracket I bondo-ed over.

I got this knob in gunmetal, sadly, it basically fries the ____ out of my hand if it's been in the sun for an extended amount of time.

I'll have to put together a write up and some pictures when I have some more spare time at the end of this semester - taking 7 classes at present :shock:

Simply, you can take the panel out, remove boot, take off the trim on both sides - your left with just the small ~12"x6" plastic panel that goes from near the cup holders to the cubby hole edge. This panel serves the function of covering the shifter and housing the cigarette lighter.

From here, bondo the 4x6" hole where the boot was. I braced the hole with 1/8" particle board. Using a sander, i leveled it out and painted the panel using truck bed lining.

Now you have a smooth flush panel. So, cut a hole for your shifter to stick through - make sure its big enough so you can easily shift into all gears - about 2".

I used a slightly curved circular piece of metal at the base of the shifter so there was no gaping view into the new hole. I lucked out with finding this perfectly sized piece of metal and rubber washer in my shop off a junk motorcycle engine. I drilled a hole in the metal and painted it, placing the rubber washer in it afterwards.

Nice write up, thx!

Is there any way to get the shifter shorter on an automatic? I don't like how high it sits w/ the boot/manual look conversion. My only guess is that I have to find a knob that has a deep thread almost near the top of the knob so it sits really low on the shifter.

Cut and re-thread.

Cut and re-thread.


How do you re-thread it with it still in the vehicle...you'd have to take the whole assembly out huh?

You could probably use a threading die without removing anything.
