madog7200 Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Just wanted to take a poll or whatever and see what all types of shifter knobs everyone has.... i broke mine and am looking for something to replace it with. What I had was a typical TJ shifter so I'm leaning more towards that Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
Hippie66 Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Mine had this, it would jump out of 3rd on rough roads. Replaced with a cheap one from Walmart.
fiatslug87 Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Currently have an aluminum Hurst pistol grip on the '88, but I want to modify an early 70's E-body Hurst pistol grip for the MJ someday.
Minuit Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Dunno what it's out of, I just found it sitting on the ground in the JY, but it fits the AX-15 shift lever and feels great in the hand. I tried one from the parts store and took it off after about 15 miles. Didn't feel good at all.

Thats very similar to the TJ shifter I had, mine was more upside down teardrop shaped but still just round and it felt great too... i was thinking of going oem but I'm not sure I'll like the feel of the not perfectly round shape?

Eagle Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 I use the TJ shift knob (which was also the OEM knob in my 2000 XJ) and I find it to be very comfortable. It's a huge improvement over the idiotic shift knob Jeep used in the 80s and early 90s XJs and MJs.
airspeed Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 I made this one out of a piece of cherry. One of those silly projects you spend about 20 hours on. But it keeps me out of the bars...
Crash Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Hurst t handle shifter. Was around 15$ when i bought on amazon IIRC.
895XJ Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Pretty much the same one found on any 2000+ Chrysler product. Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk
Jackrabbit41 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 I have a hurst T handle on a Hurst short throw shifter

Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk I have this knob on the NV3550 in my CJ. I personally like this look the most, very OEM look. When I was still running a 4 speed, I had a vintage plastic (bakelite?) 4 speed knob that I really liked. It had a "L" for the granny first gear (T18) instead of a 1. Also love seeing the burgundy interiors!

Rockfrog Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Bought the resin skull off ebay, drilled and PL3000'd a 10mm all thread join in place. Really nice feel to it. Thinking of getting it engraved with the shift pattern Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
big66440 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Column shifter knob. Don't mean to hijack but, how difficult was the shift indicator installation Hornbrod? did it require any special modifications? thanks. BTW you have a great looking truck. :thumbsup:
HOrnbrod Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Thank you Sir! :cheers: The shift indicator is ridiculously easy to install. http://www.ididitinc.com/accessories-3/ShiftIndicators_Acc-17
87Warrior Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 I got tired of the shifter knob spinning around and falling off. I could have bought a replacement, but knowing they are constructed the same turned me away. I ended up with this solid aluminum knob made by Rampage. It is a little smaller than factory, but is rock solid and cannot fail.
FrankTheDog Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 1.5" dia x 2.5" long aluminum round stock with 1/4" radius on the ends is what I have on mine. Gives it a little extension and has a nice feel. Easy to make too.
