Stock knobs are held on tight with a "crush ring" and not a set screw or threads.
The ring is a disposable part (many can be reused, but they were not intended for such). To remove your existing STOCK knob, set a pair of vise-grip plyers around the shift lever, just under the knob. They should be set so they are just shy of touching the shaft when the jaws are fully closed. Tap up under the vise-grips to drive the knob off the shaft. Please bear in mind, if you have an aftermarket knob it may not be attached with a ring. This is how you remove the knobs on 901 and 915 transmissions. I am not sure if this works for 930 transmissions, and I know it is not how they do it for the modern shifters. My knobs attach with the standard crush ring for the 901 and 915 shift lever (or any lever with a 15mm or 5/8th inch diameter - like the Rennshift). I am experimenting on attachments with set screws, but those are not on the market as yet. Zach |

Zach, do you have any more left? A friend saw mine & wants one
If you have any, save one - either I will buy it or have my friend get in touch with you T.C. Looks Great in a 911 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Zach,
I could use one of your 917-style shift knobs for my 911-based race car with a Rennshift shifter. How do you think the CA finish will hold up versus the tung oil finish out here in Northern California in a race car? I am almost always wearing gloves when I drive the car. Are they still $60. I didn't see an email address to send money via PayPal. Thanks, Scott |

Zach, If you have any of these left I would like to purchase one for my 934 tribute with Hargett Shifter. The knob will need to be modified by me to accept a threaded female insert so either a knob with the crush insert or a non-drilled version would work great.
Thanks much, JP |
