Do any of the MOMO knobs fit our cars - has anyone used one? First auto in awhile and I forgot what a pain it is to find/switch shift knobs.

Somatic, I just got my boot in today, and was installing it... I noticed when you go to downshift in M mode the plastic retainer ring on the shifter likes to get in that crevice of the faceplate and prevent you from pulling the shifter all the way back... Were you able to find a fix for this?

Only thing I can think of is remove it?

Or maybe trim some of the shifter knobs bezel of the base??

Edit: Just re-read the OP, so now we just use the Manual's baseplate instead of the Auto?? Hmmm....

Did he re-install the PRND plate or no?

i dont know what he did, but i just put a little tape over the lower portion , that way the boot wouldnt fall into it.
