Chris Labruzzo Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 Team, I recently purchased a new Shelby GT500 Shift knob (Red with white stripes) to install in my 2012 GT500 convertible. After reading the notes, we are to purchase the retainer to accomodate the shift knob as the OEM knob is tied to the OEM retainer. Does anyone have a How-To video on swapping these out? I'm curious why there are several additional screws, bolts, etc...??? Moreover, any tips on how to get the original factory white shift knob off? I thought I had a strong grip, but this baby is ON THERE!!! Thanks...Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhr1961 Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 You can do a search on the forums on TS. Just search "shift knob". Several topics on it. Most people use a strap wrench to remove existing knob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Alibi 2 Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 A strap wrench with a " rubber " strap is the best method, available @ Home Depot for less than $ 10.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhr1961 Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 correct, but if you don't have a rubber wrench you can wrap the shifter ball in two or three layers of masking tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgin Black Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 The strap wrench works like a champ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
