ZHP shift knob replacement

Ok. Thanx everyone.
So afraid to mess up something that I can't repair.

I'll try to document "process";)

I do the same as Nike does. Put it in 2nd gear and a quick and hard pull will get the knob off. To put the new on, let it fall to where it rests, square it up so that it's not crooked, and give it a firm push to seat it in place.

How we all conduct ourselves here makes "our" forum that much better in my opinion. :thumbsup

Feel free to ask any of us questions as they come up! :biggrin

In fact, no one rolls like that here. Many of us do have quite the sense of humor though :)

AMEN to that!!!

I pulled to hard and it nearly took my eye out....


thats what she said?

Hahaha

I put my E24 knob on the ZHP the other day, it's definitely "different"

i assume a pillow over your hands would work to prevent the missile effect?

i received my shift knob from my seller today.... though heavy and nice- it appears to be the wrong side?
its quite a bit larger [image shows bottoms of both at my finger level], and has different stitching lines running down back.

Am i mistaken?

Yeah that's not the right one.

If you got it from a vendor, I'd suggest returning it. When shopping, the title for the knobs on our car usually just say "ZHP"
