It's time for you to get an aftermarket shift knob, I suggest the napolex levoc knob. When I changed knobs, I didn't see any way to get the wires to connect back to the stock handle.... Though in the meantime until you get a solution, you can reattach the shift knob and leave wires hanging, if you need O/D off, just touch the wires together... need it back on, touch them together again.
