Nope, strap wrench and channel locks is what it took for me. Be sure to wrap the shaft with a towel so you don't scratch it. Also, it helps to wrap the knob with painters tape then duct tape for extra grip.

My engraving looks perfecto, sorry to hear yours isn't. The weight is great:tup: Did you install yet??

How does the weight compare to stock knob? The stock knob is pretty comfortable IMO, it's just not really pleasing to look at.

I haven't installed it yet as I'm away from my car, but the weight is amazing. A big thing that I like about it is how the center of gravity is VERY high up on the knob, which I am certain adds even more to the great shifting feel found in weighted knobs like these.
the engraving flaws on mine are hardly noticable. I am sure PJDM would replace it if I wanted (with their exceptional customer service) but it's honestly not noticable enough for it to be worth the trouble.
You got a repeated customer PJDM!

Edit: ^ it's twice as heavy as the stock knob

Thanks man. My dad isn't much of a handy person so it looks like I am going to have to make a run to a hardware store and pick up the tools needed. I will give it a shot today and post some pics.

:iagree: This made it really easy to remove.

Got my O-rings in the mail on Saturday and installed the PWJDM Shift Knob today. First impression after a spirited drive...AWESOME! I have a large hand and was a little worried that it wasn't going to be conducive to palm shifting, but I knew right away as I was pulling out of the garage that it was perfect!

Great job PWJDM!!

I am trying to get it off right now but the Oem shift knob just seems to be spinning in place and not loosening up. Any suggestions?

???Never heard of that. Keep twisting, it may likely come off. I know that it's a pretty long thread. :(

:tup:

Yep -- it is at least 30 turns.

I got it finally. It just felt like it wasn't getting anywhere but it finally made its way off. Thanks for the help guys.

Vice grips are the way to go
