Question on stock shift knob.

[V10TT]

Looking at this on Ebay:

Can I replace my pistol grip shift knob on my 97 GTS with one from 03-06?, or does it need to be a 99-02 knob?
thanks!

Chuck Tator told me 03 and up will not work.

Well.. it will work, but the shift numbers will be facing the wrong way (Up side down).

I tried to put my Old 04 Shifter in my 97 GTS and was upside down when tightened. Some aftermarket 03+ shifters knobs would work if they have a screw/bolt to tighten the shifter knob in any position.

Really? I put the shorter version of that from a Gen4 ACR and it fit perfectly.

I liked that gen 4 acr shifter knob he said no good I don't know but I don't ? The wizard

Will a 99-02 knob and shaft bolt on correctly on the 97?

Your PM box is full.

There should be a jamb nut on the shaft so that the knob can be properly oriented.

I've seen it done first hand so someone has definitely figured it out

Of course there's a jam nut...otherwise the actual shift knob would never be aligned or tight.

Not so, on my Miata, the shaft and knob are designed in such a way to always be tight and facing the right direction without the use of a jam nut. But yes, on my viper you need to use the nut.

So what's the answer, I see no reason as to why it wouldn't work. Viper98912 did it, right? Looks just like my later model Gen II shifter. Maybe the thread depth is slightly different and needs shimming or something. Anyone....

GTS billy club out, ACR baseball in.

03 cobra knobs work too. And better price. And shorter than the stock viper

When I got my 2000, I didn't like the knob and swapped to the earlier style.

Can you get that knob with a "6"? If you would let me know where you can get them I would appreciate it.

Ya it's just a 03 Cobra knob. I have one on my viper tranny in my mustang.
