I used a strap wrench to remove the stock knob. Which was easy cause the rubber that was wrapped around it pulled right off cause it was so worn out. And tugged it right and left and gave some upward force too and it came off. I had the rod tapped to 10x1.25
And I had it tapped down to that because sickspeed makes reverse lockout adapters for that size and so do various other companies that make recessed knobs for the Veloster which uses the same diameter reverse lockout as we do so was relatively easy to find other knobs and such. The adapter I got doesn't quite hide the wide point of our reverse lockout like I wish it would but it hides the spring so that's really all I care about. We didn't get the rod tapped down quite as far as I would have liked either but I'll go back over it eventually and see if I can get the adapter a little lower to hide most of the wide part. But I'm not sure how far my knob will thread down so I wanna make sure they at least connect together without space in between if push comes to shove I'll shave the top portion of the rod down a quarter inch or so
