victoria british offers one. it has the rx7 logo thats on the side of the car on it. $17. genuine walnut and screw on for easy installation, adds a classy look to your interior.

Is it the knob or the lever rattling in the ball socket?

My '74 nylon shifter knob used to rattle a lot. It's the 10mm x 1.25 thread pitch (small style). It went mostly away after screwing it onto a '79 stick.



I'm not sure if this would work, but try gooping some silicone or something up inside it to dampen the vibrations.

well thankfully mines a factory (dubble H pattern logo) with leater look/sports style and it sticks to the stick like glue

probly too good couse its in good condition but the leather shift boot is needed to be remade



anyway all i think is making the knob not fit so good is it might not be the right size to start of with

mazda - metric

america - american impereal

i dont mean tools

i mean it might of been advertised in a botched convertion

If you drill small holes where the screws go in, it will NEVER Move. Also, make sure you use the correct Nylon bushing that it brings.



I've used them for years, and they don't rattle, or come off.
