Default Racing Shift Knobs

I haven't found many aftermarket shift knobs that fit the C4 (especially if you want the correct shift pattern). My Facebook feed had been bombarded with advertisements from Raceseng recently so I decided to give them a look. Their knobs use adaptors to match any thread pattern. I bit the bullet during their July 4th sale and purchased the "Contour" knob in black texture finish. The knob arrived today and I am very impressed. Nice packaging (can reuse to store the factory knob), easy to install, identical shade of black to the factory knob, works with the reverse lockout, sits a hair lower, and improved shifter feel due to the 500g weight.

I use a rubber collar around the reverse lockout to keep it from rattling (pic 3). The gap is identical with the Raceseng knob so I didn't have to make a new collar.

Looks good on there. I used the titanium shift knob out of my old subaru sti. I just drilled out the old threads and re-taped it. fits just like your knob above.

After buying and sending back many " reproduction" C4 knobs because of the crap quality, I just went and bought an OEM C5 knob. Screwed right on and looks as if it were stock.

This was the stock shifter on my '68 Hemi Road Runner. Felt just right; I think it was a 2" ball--Bob
