Installing new C32 shift Knob

Has anyone had any luck replacing the stock shift knob on their C32? I am able to get the entire boot assembly off, but the leather boot appears to be manufactured into the base of the knob.

I have been looking at Ebay knobs, does anyone know if this shifter will work?

Thanks,

Me too....I've seen you a few times (black car right). You, PRossi, and myself all live in the same area.

Have any other mods done to the car?

after removing the boot, theres this piece on the underside of the boot where the shifter attaches to. you turn that about 90Deg and that piece slides right off, then you can pull your shifter off, then it will easily slide out of the boot.

Chad, I did the change out on my 02 C32 earlier this year. Here is the thread with instructions and photos. Scroll down to the photos of my new knob for a look-see of an ebay knob I bought.

I really like the feel of this knob, compared to the stock piece of crud.
