I have a 34 and mine doesnt go all the way down either, but i guess it can be rectified putting a spacer in between the gearboot and the knob

how much difference is there?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

mine has a 10mm gap... not worried bout it

[Trav33]

Yeah my boot sat down too low. What i did to fix it, was to remove the boot and you'll notice the gear stick shaft is tapered (starts off thin and gets thicker). I made some of the thin bit thicker using electrical tape. That way the rubber grommet in the boot wont go down as far, and no more gap. Easy 60second fix!

mine did the same thing

i just kept screwing it on so the thread on the stick cut into the plastic on the inside of the gear knob

didnt damage the thread and its nice and tight

[TaKz]

ah ok jus wanted to make sure that it didnt screw all da way down so i didnt get ripped haha

yer mines nice and tight theres bout 2cm gap im ova it now!

[TaKz]

[heller44]

My trust one feels like it leaves a nice circular burn in your palm on a summers day, I have a stubby holder i throw over it when parked.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Moron. No Sh*t. At least in the winter, you don't have to keep takin your hand off the gear knob sayin "ow, ow, ow..."

[gtrkiet]

I would recommend you to put a bit of grease on the thread before you start.

The 1st nismo knob that I had, I did it too tight (trying to get it all the way down) and when it comes time to undo it, I unseated the plastic bit in the middle and I couldn't get it off, since the plastic bit would just sping around inside the knob like a screw with stripped thread. End up destroying it and had to get a new one. Other than that, they are really nice looking, although I'd prefer them to be slightly taller.

Trav33's fix works well.

Did it with my Trust GearKnob aswell.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Yup... Did the trav fix a few days after this thread was started and it worked a treat! Sits 100% flush now.

although my nismo gear knob is losing its pos cheap coating and is going white... So time to look for a new one i spose
