I want to buy a custom shift knob (www.wiseguycustoms.com) but the JK isnt threaded, if I wanted to tap and dye it so it IS threaded, what would be the closest thread size? 10mmx1.5?

 

Can someone measure their shift shaft? I wont be able to get my Jeep to measure it until who knows when!

 

I feel kinda stupid asking this but......How do you get the stock one off?

If i could get the darn thing off perhaps i could get you your measurement.

Tell you what SSGT Hughes...I'll work on it tomorrow, let ya know what I find out.....

BTW, I got out of the AF as a SSGT in 2001..served for 10 years.

I solute you for your service brother..

 

Thanks Cappi! I got 16mos left Active Duty, trying to Palace Chase to the Guard unit in my hometown.

 

The stock one is just pressed on, if you pull it should come off. I think i saw a write up on this somewhere someone else has asked the same question... try a search

 

To remove the shifter, you pry on the part of the boot that is farthest from the dash, there is 2 clips, then tilt it ahead and the first part will lift off.
Then there is another insulator under that, it's a little harder to do but you have to unclip it the same way as the first one.
Once that is lifted up, it's either a T-40 or T-45 bolt on the shifter.
Then just pull up and the shifter will lift off the transmission with the 2 boots still attached.

 

i think he just wants to remove the knob not the whole shifter.

 

uh, yes, those are not the instructions to remove the shift knob
