Are you annoyed with your old plastic automatic transmission shifter knob sliding off the chrome selector every time you hop in your classic Jeep and want to put it in gear? We have the solution!
We started by 3D-scanning a NOS shifter knob. We got it in CAD, optimized the assembly method (locks in place with an Allen set screw), accounted for noble Moore & Giles premium grain leather to be stitched around in and voila!
These are used on all our Vigilante restorations. The stitch sits on the back of the knob and is invisible from the driver or passenger positions. The stitch is also recessed in the plastic housing so it can barely be felt. A true upgrade for any Jeep. UV-resistant premium quality leather. Works on any automatic transmission column shifter in classic CJ’s, Wagoneers, Cherokees, Grand Wagoneers or J-trucks (SJ). This shifter knob is also compatible with the same era GM steering columns.
Free shipping across the USA. International shipping available with UPS.
