shift knobs?

SN95 5.0 · 03-22-2001, 11:15 PM

i am looking for a better looking shift knob to replace the stock one found on my 94 t-5. there isn't much on ebay except those bullitt ones. they are really cool but really expensive. anyone got any ideas or recommendations?

Here's a picture of my cobra shift knob. Excuse me for the quality of the scanning and the picture. But, this knob still very not expensive (20-30$), it's custom fit and the touch feeling is great.

I like my Steeda knob.....but it is spendy.

I have the Cobra leather shift knob on my '90 and I love it, just as 'White GT' does.
Looks and fits right and is very comfortable.
I paid $20. for mine a few years ago at Downs Ford in N.J. via mail order (plus $4. S&H).
Highly recommended.

I made my own and I love it. Other than it being cold in the winter it feels pretty comfortable and is the perfect size for ripping gears. I plan on having a custom leather cover made for it with holes so the chrome will show through.

I can't be sure. I've the factory shifter. But i didn't had any problem with the cobra knob to install it. I just had to remove the factory one and screw the cobra one. There was no adapter. This is perfect bolt on. 15 secondes not much.

I rather doing it quicker but my pony is light modified.

Hope this help

I love my B&M t handle. It looks great and it fits the contours of your hand.

They are very tough too...the one I have in my 92 now was in my 92 convertible that burned to the ground. I took it out (it was the only thing left in the interior that you could recognize) and polished it up...it still looks mint, and that was in a fire with all the other red hot $hit covering it!!!!!
