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

as long as you use a hack saw and cut straight across you'll be fine. don't use a grinder because the metal will melt and mushroom out and then you'll be jacked. just hack saw it up. and finding a dye that big is kind of hard esp since it's metric. you might have to hit up a sears or order it offa the net. most stores only sell it either as standard sizes or they have a kit with metric and standard in it or just a kit with metric seperate.
