How do you remove the shifter knob??

[RR2334]

The shift knob should unscrew off from the shifter with the aluminum spacer attached the the black ball without any issue.

Success!

Looks great and I like your silver extension. I'm thinking of going to a white (60's Detroit Muscle Car retro look) shift knob, plus it would match my white Boss stripes.

I used a strap wrench and it was a PITA but it finally came off

Rick went with the FRPP shifter with the white knob and it looked great! Seein' as y'all have the same Boss color...

I have the MGW shifter with the Ford Racing ball. I ordered my shifter with the shaft that matched the stock one.

Not wanting to leave well enough alone, I'm trying another knob. Preferences?

Grabber Blue w/ Boss-like stripes:


Black w/ Grabber Blue stripes:

How about blue with black writing and no stripes?

Arrgh! I'm having enough trouble with TWO choices!!!

Is this the same as that dress picture. I see white and gold.

Just kidding, I like the black and blue with the thin stripes. It is nice to have both though, as you can change them to feel like you have another Boss. I have red with black and white with black. Still thinking about getting a black with red also.

Black with the Blue stripes.

Too funny!

This shift knob with a 12" extension, reminds me of a WRC Rally car set up. Early Kenny Block style!

As for F49's choices, I like the the Black with thinner Grabber Blue stripes.

I too have been thinking about this, maybe a white knob with Ford Racing script on the sides to match Miss Kona's white stripes.

Enjoy it,

Just my $.02,

I too had acquired quite the collection of shift knobs/balls. All blue with black numbering; all black with blue numbering; all white with black letting; black ball with BOSS and numbering in white; blue ball with BOSS and numbering in black; blue ball with BOSS, numbering, and rally stripes in black; blue ball with BOSS, numbering, and "boss" stripes in black - just to mention a few. It got to the point that I was glad to part with many of them.

With all of the choices, I get the most complements on the the blue ball with BOSS stripes (like Fiddler posted) and the black ball with BOSS and the numbering in white.

I normally keep the blue ball with the BOSS stripes on (my favorite). I put the black one on if I'm going to a car show or meet. Most people think it is the stock "black" shift knob that they read/heard about....

Like everything else, it all depends on your own personal taste.

By the way, I think this thread needs its own theme song. How about AC/DC's Big Balls.... Just a thought.
