Short throw shifter require new knob?

[07ccdskaterv6]

Will I need an aftermarket knob for a Barton aftermarket shifter? Or can I use my stock shifter knob setup for now?

Stock should work just fine.

barton comes with 2 shifter handles. one uses stock knob and the boot hides the stick, just like stock.

Depends... I installed an MGW shifter and my stock shift knob didn't screw on all the way (thread pitch was different). Had to order a new shift knob. It 'worked', however it just didn't go down all the way.

The stock shifter knob will not work on the flat handle. As Renesis said it will "work" but wont screw down all the way. I just ordered the white ball knob from american muscle and its great.

When you order an MGW, you have your choice of course or fine thread on the shifter. You simply chose the wrong thread pitch.

The Barton shifter I ordered from AM, the stock shifter ball works just fine.

This and the knob is included for the other shifter handle with Barton shifters.

mgw sts is the best... hands down!

the stock shift knob has a soft plastic insert that will re-thread itself to a fine or coarse threaded shift handle. it pro50 handle i got was a different from the stock handle. i just forced it on there and it made a new set of threads over the old one. been on there for probably 5 years.

+1. Had mine for almost a year now, and by far the best upgrade I've done on the car. This is how the car SHOULD come from the factory if you ask me.

I agree 100%. It's really a great modification to do...
