I installed the knob without the ring for now I'll snap some pictures tomorrow. It does slip over however not far enough to start threading the knob on

Man that's weird. Sound like a possible manufacturing issue. :(

Thats what I am guessing since it is pretty damn close.. Hopefully they will take care of it..

Did you remove the aluminum spacer that was under the stock shift knob?

I didn't have to remove my aluminum spacer. Everything slid together with ease and tightened down perfectly, just like it was waiting to come home! :)

okay guys, went back out last night and took a look and my car had two smaller spacers instead of one big one in the pictures on previous pages, I removed the bottom spacer and everything went together great. Drove the car this morning and it shifs great.. I like it better than my ARC knob I had on my G37. Thanks for the quick feedback. I would say however its time for a new thread since trying to scim through this one to find the pictures of the spacer was a nightmare and a half..

/\ I agree! I think PWJDM has gotten their feedback now! BWahahah!!

Might be kinda off topic now, but how is that PWJDM exhaust coming along? :driving:

Any word on the brake ducts? :excited:

Yea... I'm like waiting to buy a diffuser. Preferably before July 2012... ;-)

I'm pretty sure the diffuser and much more will be in the works soon.

I have been waiting for a long time to post my review since my car was gone for a couple weeks and I didn't have time to tear into the stock knob, but I finally installed my PWJDM shift knob with a titanium base and it is PERFECT.

It did require me to create a way to raise the shift boot by cutting a small plastic bottle cap and placing that onto the shifter before placing the boot over it. This leaves the boot sitting perfectly with the base of the PWJDM shift knob. Also, my stock knob was a b*tch to get off, it is all torn up.

As far as shifting feel, my thoughts mirror others: shifting is significantly easier and smoother, with the shift knob feeling just right size wise for my hand. It also looks so classy, I am honestly blown away what PWJDM produced for such a reasonable price.

Was wondering the same thing :confused:

christian, that looks incredible! do you know what the difference is between the titanium and the silver option? i was under the impression that that was the silver one...

Silver knob, titanium base ring.

on the site, they offer 3 different base colors... black, silver and titanium. does anybody know what the difference is between titanium and silver?

the base in christian's pics looks 'silver' to me :confused:

Looking very good, Christian. :tup:

It looks darker in person, the flash definitely made it appear brighter! The silver would be a much closer match to the stainless finish of the shift knob.

Thanks onzedge!

Yes, the silver is closer to the color of the stainless knob. The Titanium is a bit darker, and is like the middle of the road color between silver and black. I think it's the perfect option (which is why I got it)!

Yah, great shots Christian!

I agree, although black looks nice too! Thanks happy.

hey any of you guys that bought the knob have issues with the decorative stripe having tiny burrs? :confused: mine was pretty edgy and required me to file.

i hope come spring, i dont un-cover my car to find a rust ring in the middle of the knob. :icon17:

So, I installed mine before Christmas but today was the first time I actually drove it further than the garage-driveway-garage. Mine feels fine, but cold. I also noticed that the rattle/buzz I was getting at high RPMs (that I was attributing to my short shifter) is gone -- at least for now. Maybe it has something to do with me removing the stock knob and re-stalling the JDM one using rubber o-rings. The knob feels great once it is warmed up.

sounds good, mr.onzedge.

i think the weight and size is good too. :)

it was 12F this am... :icon17: i wonder how many people's hands froze to the knob. :icon17:

mr.onzedge- do you know if stainless is treated after it's cut to prevent corrosion? :confused:

Yeah, my knob has zero imperfections. Def a bit cold in the morn, onzedge.

I do not think that stainless steel needs to be treated, but I am a layman and only know enough about machining to make me dangerous. I would ask the PWJDM guys.

12F today? Shrinkage weather.

Basically the same temp here (-13°C without the windchill) Although just looking outside you would think its a beautiful spring day until you open the garage door and that winter wind smacks you square in the face back to reality.

Lol @ shrinkage weather

Here is some reading for those who might be interested in Stainless Steel Stainless steel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

:gtfo2: :icon17: jk ;)

yah i dont think so either as exhaust flanges are welded and stuff and i dont recall seeing process to be treated. but not sure which T-stainless used.

shrinkage indeed. :icon17: :icon14:

hahahaha, yah, beautiful warm looking day = COLD! :eek:

thanks, i actually read that too a week or so ago. :D

I have never seen a rusted DeLorean if that helps.

:tup:

:tup: great minds....

Hmm, when was the last time anyone has seen a DeLorean? :rofl2:

about 6months ago.... :ugh2: sometimes i wish they dissappear. :icon17:

Diffuser :)

Cool! I assumed they all dissolved into the earth or something...

Hey! You're trying to get this thread back on topic... don't think we didn't notice... :rofl2:

I'm going to start a chant!

Diffuser!
