Okay so i bought a new shift knob from Gilbert which is great. But the new knob is a little shorter than the stock knob so there is a small gap of maybe 1/4 inch between the bottom of the knob and the boot. So i was thinking i could just cut the shifter (the actual metal bar) down a little bit so it was flush. In doing this i would be cutting off some of the thread. So if i do cut a small portion of the thread would i still be able to put my stock shifter back on if i wanted to. thanks guys. any sugestions are welcome

ohk stellar this is what you do. first you cut the rod in your words(metal peace) go to home depot and get the tool that makes new threads make sure its metric i forgot what the tool was called they should know what your talking about but i know its not more then 10 bucks and go home then go home and make new threads on the bar.
