anyone fitted a momo gearknob?

[pete7]

i have bought a momo f-16 evo gearknob for my v6 sport!manual!
the titanium colour is virtually identical to the titanium coloured dash.
problem is when i fit it, it sits about an inch taller than the original leather one!
it looks really naff!
i have thoiught of hacksawing a lump off the top of the gear lever so that it is lower but dont want to completely knacker it!
any suggestions please?

cheers

i changed mine to a polish'd alloy item and had the same problem!...So i chopped the stick,it seamed the only way too get it sitting at a comfy hight :)

I paid £45 for a MOMO Raptor gearknob, fitted it, liked it., although it was higher, like yours.

Gradually dawned on me why the standard gearknob felt like it has a lump of lead in it - vibes up the gearknob became V. annoying. :(

Glad I didn't cut the shaft down like I was going to.

Refitted the leather original & sold the MOMO on e-bay. ;)

Hope the V6 gearbox doesn't suffer from the same vibes my VR4.

It can do.. You feel it most when you make a sharp exit in first, though it's not too bad.

I'm glad I read all of this, as gearknob change was one of the things on my list - The pattern has almost rubbed off the standard one! :rolleyes5

I just fitted a momo cobra gear knob no probs - no need to cut the shaft :-D
