Selling my B&M Shift Knob, as I already have the Momo shifter.. Looks sharp though, a real nice way to dress up the car, especially if you've already got the KKM pedals to go with it.. It's got a real shape, unlike the Voodoo which is just a ball.. Here's a picture to help see this (the top just has a removable B&M logo which could probably be replaced with whatever you want):



I'm going to toss it up on eBay this weekend, so if someone here wants it before then, e-mail me (sujpatel@home.com), I'd prefer it go to a CEG'er. Looking for $40 or b/o.

The knob is FREE with the B&M short throw! What gives?

Some people don't want to spend $168 for the short shifter, but want something to dress up the interior.. And it screws into the stock position, no allen wrenches to deal with, retains the working of the reverse lockout..

It seems like a good deal to me, same price as some of the other aftermarket knobs, but this one looks the best to me, and it feels great too. Too bad I already spent $80 on the Momo.

Jesus Christ...I paid 70 bucks for the whole damn thing form CarParts.com, shifter, parts, directions, knob, even a pretty box from B&M.

I wouldn't dream of asking more than 20 bucks for it.

That's almost as much as I sold my entire SVT Catback for

That's my point, it's no longer $70, it's now about $100 more, so $40 is fair in my book.. If you don't want it, don't complain, someone else will get it then.

Yeah $40 is a bit high, someone else sold there B&M knob on here (can't remeber who now) to me for only $10!!. I do think it looks sharp, especially with the KKM pedals (pick of my interier in the profiles - Simon Williams 96 SE). But $40 is a bit steep!

Just IMHO

Then make an offer, I don't care, I was just throwing a number out there that I thought was fair.. Highest bidder gets it.
