www.teamvoodoo.com is the place Jim is trying to remember. I also have their knob and Paul's pedals - including the dead pedal, that really finished off the look. Great products and great people to deal with. | ||

If you don't have a 17mm, try a crescent wrench. Changing mine took all of 2 minutes. I bought mine from the place Mike suggested, but can't remember the name of it. Makes Miata parts I think. Was about $40 and I love it. | ||

The nut just below the knob is 17mm. Unless it's missing, you do NOT need to take the gate off nor hold the shift stalk. Just put a 17mm open end wrench on the nut to hold it, then rotate the shift ball counterclockwise to unscrew. | ||

I also changed the shift-gate and the knob with one supplied by Paul Hill and i concur the shift is a lot easier and the knob justs twists of after you have slackened the lock nut,took about 10 mins.for the total job. best regrds Dave McGuire | ||

I thought I remembered an earlier post which suggested taking the gate off which allows you to also get a wrench on the bottom of the shifter stalk if you are concerned about spinning the stalk. | ||

Augustine, I believe there is a lock nut under the gear knob - slacken this off first of all, and the gear knob should unscrew. Stephen - Thanks for the recommendation  Paul [email protected] www.hill-engineering.co.uk Ferrari Chat Sponsor | ||

It should be threaded and just screw on and off. | ||

I replace my knob and gate with ones from Hill,s (FerrariChat sponsor). Also did the pedals. To say I am pleased with the results is to put it mildly. Looks GREAT and the car shifts MUCH better. Highly recommended. | ||

This may seem like a stupid question, and I searched the archives to try and avoid scolding from the "we went over this a million times before" club, but here it goes. The gear knob in my 328 has become quite faded and I have a new factory replacement. It does not apear to be a twist on/twist off job. I don't want to break anything, so any advise on replacing this item would be appreciated. Thanks. -Augustine |
