Comanche County Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 I epoxied mine. It's lasted 6 years but I kinda wish I hadn't cause I can't replace my cracked shift boot now. It won't stretch over the knob without tearing. I guess i could heat up the shift rod and melt the epoxy but haven't gotten around to it yet.
Eagle Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 I epoxied mine and it lasted maybe a week. I use OEM shift knobs from the 2000 XJ and the TJ Wranglers.

2toneComanche Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Shifter on the column as done the same thing, so I replaced it with a cheap 8 ball shift knob but it had wrong fitment and feel stupid. Thinking about trying bullet casing. any ideas on what to do
87MJTIM Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 I had purchase an "OEM" from either Quadra or Morris - $10. It broke with in a few months. Now it spins like a top on the post. I should have saved my $$. I like the feel and look of the original. All the others people have don't appeal to me. No offence. I have a CJ and do like the look and feel of that. But, I am hesitant to repeat the same mistake from Q and M. I ve tried looking at auto parts stores and Wally World. Let's just say, I am not their target customer with their selection.

I think your best bet would be to find a used CJ/YJ shift knob. The one I bought is off of flea-bay and is a replica with a similar design to the OEM MJ knob I used to have. It's only a matter of time before it meets the same fate.
MuddFoot Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 i ordered one for my yj like a few years ago. leather and everything. i think it was like 22 bucks i wish i could remember the site even came with the jam nut
