If you remove the little locknut under the shift knob will the knob sit lower? I have the muz shift knob now but I think it sits a little high. I noticed the locknut but thought it was a needed piece. If you can remove it, how?, with a wrench? please let me know if it can be removed and if it will lower the height of the shifter- thanks

 

Yes, you remove the nut. Use either a couple of drops of blue locktite or teflon tape to hold the knob in place with the shift pattern properly oriented if you have one with a shift pattern.

 

Just cut a couple of inches,off the shifter.

 

I thought the Muz knobs used a little set screw to keep them in place?

 

the skunk2 Jam nut only have two threads, you might can lower it a tad but that's all.

i think the oem jam nut are the same way.

if you want it to sit lower, just get a counter sunk knob, i brough one that threaded all the way to the top.

you can cut and rethread the oem shifter too, they sell dies in homedepot for like 15 bucks. some of your local S owner might have a set that you could use.

 

I have the muz countersunk shifter which is why I'm asking shouldn't it sit lower than the stock shift knob if you take out the locknut or does the locknut not make a difference in the height of the knob? That is all I wanted to know is will the knob sit any lower if you remove the locknut? I saw an older post which said it would but I want to see what others said before I take the locknut out.

 

Just take the nut out and try it yourself?????

 

that's pretty much all he/she could do.

like i said the jam nut that came with my car have two treads on top, so the space there is minium

 

if you have a countersunk knob. ..dont you have to remove the lock nut? otherwise you're not countersinking anything.

 

Well, I don't know how lower the knob will sit without the OEM locknut, but I do know for certain that Muz knobs do not require the locknut, so you might as well remove it. Use the supplied hex-keyed set screw to secure the knob instead.
