Another Shift knob Thread!!

[chevyok06]

OK, Sorry newb here starting a thread that has apparently been beat to death. BUTTTT!!!!!!! Every post i have looked at 20+ Has no links in it no parts numbers and very few pictures.

I am looking for either.
A: A direct fit, something i can just slide right on.
B: Something that i can screw onto 12x1.5 thread, as i am about to thread the shift handle.

I don't want this shifter to be super long with an adapter and i don't want to remove my reverse lockout either. So please Post up your pictures and and links to the parts you used. I have included a picture of my current resolution to the oem one falling apart. I pulled all the excess material off of it and wrapped it with a material called Vet wrap. Then hammered it back on. Here is a link to the material i used.

I feel similar to you on this topic, as pieces keep falling off of my stock knob and my sonic only has 38k. I've found mixed information on what people are doing on SOF so it's hard to decide what to go with. I managed to find a cruze owner who used a M12x1.25 thread pitch die on the shaft then used a threaded shift knob.

I have the die ordered from Amazon.
Century Drill and Tool 97617 Hexagon Metric Die, 12.0 x 1.25 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004UUGS7A?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

Once my shift knob comes that is also M12x1.25, I will be making threads just like the video. I've heard to get the press fit stock knob off, its best to use a strap wrench, a heat gun and brute force. I will post pics when it's installed.

Ha i pulled mine off with my hand, on the ride home. Now it's super loose and have pulled it off more than once during 1-2 shifts. I am about to get it threaded. I tried to do it my self with a harbor freight tap and die set, that was a no go haha.

Old thread... but I wanna replace my shift knob with something a bit more sturdy and larger. When i do this I suppose i'll post a process thread since I haven't really seen one yet!
