- Stuff into your shifter [ Manual ]
- Done.

Golf ball was free as I stole it from my father* :P
 
i use a snooker ball for the knob, cool jugek. blue no.2, nice one btw sir
 
cool DIY dude! Does it pop out if excessive shifting is done? Or did you tape it down with some adhesive inside the hole?
 
u can send the chosen knob to a machine shop and thread the hole, with the same thread size of ur shift lever, or else u need to sumbat the lubang kaw2 to keep it secured
 
woo ori NIKE gear knob but i think a bit slippery if hands are even slightly wet

Yeah, Ori ball.. LoL.. I believe the dimples surface on the ball will give some grip

It took me 10 minutes for this project only..
 
omg...how come u "tefikir" to do the golf ball as a gear knob.. :beer::thrasher: very nice huhuhuh
 
The golf ball idea has been around since VW Golf Gti MK1 (if not mistake) came about...

Google it to see...

Nevertheless, I always like the idea of DIY....
 
Nice. The only thing is th counter weight factor. Maybe like the above suggestion, a snooker or pool ball will give some weight. Kudos bro.
