Need to replace entire shift assembly for shift knob?

[krakenredbeard]

Me and a fellow member will be attempting this at some point in the future just not the immediate future.

The aftermarket knobs I have purchased in the past have not been threaded, just press on. A set screw, if you're lucky.

Brasschucker and I haven't gotten to it yet but we believe we can tap and dye it down to 12x whatever pitch we want and make it work. Just haven't had time yet. There is a sweet delren knob I want. Lol

I just bought a new shifter boot online...no way to take the entire shifter shaft off, so I'm assuming I need to take the knob off, but from what I'm reading....YIKES....

When my shifter was replaced under warranty it came a s a complete assembly. Even the 6 speed shifter i picked up has the boot on it.

went out and looked at my shifter boot...different than what I ordered. I'm assuming I'll have to mod the one I bought... if I balk, I'm out $8.50...

I'll probably have to take out a second mortgage..............................

I got a nice leather MOMO shift knob for my last car and it was held on very well with set screws.

Ok I'll remember press on knobs is the right one.

Same here. Had my entire shifter assembly replaced when my knob fell part.

Threaded Adapters | TWM Performance Threaded Adapters now is the sonic shifter shaft the same as the colbalt . And if it is then what's the thread size?

The sonic is not the same as the cobalt. The sonic has a pressed on shift knob. No threads to screw anything onto.

It can be tapped/dye to 12x1.25 a few of the cruze guys have done it and I will be doing it this weekend.

Alright just checking. Can anyone suggest a weighted shifter knob that is reverse lock out compatible that's also push on.
