svt13 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Someone should mention how much BIGGER these knobs are than stock. They are like 3x the size. I was surprised. Is this boss knob this big? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jer Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Probably an oddball request...but red stripe on dark blue? Depends. Here's why: I'm trying to set up a "custom order" program, where customers can pick the logo, ball color, stripe color, etc... if I CAN'T, it's going to be WAY too much inventory complexity to manage effectively. So ALL the requests people have been submitting fall into this "maybe". Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crowley Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 I got my shifter ball tonight and I am convinced they didn't send me the right parts. I got my stock shift knob off and took a look at the 3 adapters that come w/ the knob. 2 were way too big (just slipped on) and the third brass adapter will only thread 1 turn on to the shifter stick. Same with one of the nuts. 2 of them are too large and one won't even thread 1 turn. I guess I should be thankful that one of the items actually worked correctly. I got the retainer adapter black (2010+ since i have the 2012), it threads on like a charm. For the brass adapter for a 2012 GT500, can you pick this up at a hardware store? If so, what is the size. I'm talking about the copper sleeve with threads on the inside to go onto the shifter handle and threads on the outside to go into the GT500 shifter ball.

2010KonaBlueGT Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 For the brass adapter for a 2012 GT500, can you pick this up at a hardware store? I saw a Hurst pistol grip shifter handle at Pep-Boys that included all of the different adapters with it. I'm not sure if they sell just the adapters or not but if push came to shove, you could buy a CHEAP Hurst knob just for the variety of adapters they come with. Hmm. Maybe check Hurst on-line. I know they have the same pistol grip handle Pep-Boys had so maybe you could find the bad of adapters? Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimC Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Try taking it to your local O'Reilys, Auto zone or Pep Boys they have shifter knobs and adapter kits, and should let you open one to see if there adapter fits. Hell I have a kit If I have the right adopter I'll send it to you. you can buy me a pepsi or beer some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crowley Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Just checked you are correct 2010-2013 GT500 uses 10 MM x 1.25 thread handle. So I think the brass adapter and one of the nuts that came with the kit are 10 MM x 1.5 instead of the 10 MM x 1.25. I went to lowes just to see what they had and found 10mm x 1.5 nuts and it screws on just as far as the nut supplied w/ the kit and binds just like it .. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll have to hit up autozone etc to see what I can find. thanks, Crowley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimC Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Good deal, When you are there get a small tube of the light weight (purple color) lock-tite to use on the adopter. Some use blue and that is fine it just means you will need to use a punch to remove the adopter if you ever need to replace you adapter. After you insert the adapter into the knob wait and give the lock-tite time to dry and cure so it does not spin loose on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I'm hoping Jer might be able to comment on this problem. Just went to install my shift ball today and found out the threads in the three adapters I received do not work on my shifter. After taking some measurements my shift handle is 3/8 16 thread and all of the adapters are metric. I have the short throw shifter and handle like in the KR cars. I looked on the Shelby Store website to see if there is a different adapter and the only one I could find was a Hurst shifter adapter kit, but it doesn't tell you what the inside thread size is????? Might be nice to have that in the description of the product on the website. Jer, do you guys have a 3/8-16 adapter that will fit the new shift balls, or do I now own a new, but very attractive paper weight? Thanks in advance.

It should be the same shifter and handle that was used in the GT500KR program. Threds on the handle are 3/8x16. The car this is for is a 2007 GT500. It actually would make a fine paperweight, and I might order one for just that purpose for my desk. I will call it ART. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I received the correct adapter kit from Shelby Performance parts yesterday, and now everything fits correctly. If you order anything other than a KR shifter ball for a KR shifter, you will need to get the KR adapter. It does not come with any of the other shifter balls. Much thanks Shelby and Jer for taking care of my problem so quickly. Great service on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebecke1 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Hi Jer, Can you help me out with this? Jonathan sent me new bushings, but they were the same ones I already had and none of them fit the shifter handle. As I see it, the shifter is 3/8 -16 and I need a bushing that will adapt that to fit the GT500 shift knob I purchased this past summer. I have the FRPP shifter handle (M-7213-K).
