10 weeks?? Uugggg. I ordered mine (same thing but in white) on 28 Dec. they advertise 4 weeks, WTF? I emailed last night for an update. 10 weeks is ridiculous.

 

So I got an update that they’re getting an order in next week (mines in there) and then they’ll ship it out. That’s gonna put me at 6+. I wrote them back today and recommended they change their “4 week” advertisement on these.

I went with the car matching colors too (white w/blue stripes), but wondering if I should have gone solid red to match the start button!

 

I was wondering that as well, with my new DCTMS steering wheel coming with the red steering locator stripe, it would likely have all tied in...however, now that I've been told me and 10 others from the group buy aren't going to be getting our wheels for awhile now that they have decided to change suppliers, I'll believe it when I see it...

 

Hey all, just changed out my shifter knob for the one pictured below. Got it at CJ Pony Parts and it looks much better in person (looks "cloudy" in pic, but not at all very clear in person). I really like the round shift knob, just feels "right"! Their supplier makes them in a variety of diff colors (pretty much whatever you want) so I went with the theme of my Shelby Black n' Blue. Wait time was 10 weeks...

Why is it that anything cool for our cars is on a slow order? 10 weeks on a knob? color is great though.

 

I’d guess not a lot of movement on Shelby specific parts.

 

I think your right about that, plus with so many different color combos available for this particular shift knob, it would be very hard and costly to try and keep them in stock. Took a long time though and they do need to update their estimated ship dates!! Just back from a drive and I really, like the feel of this knob, took about 5 minutes to get used to it...

 

So mine finally shipped today. Four weeks...yea, right :-/

I already have my stock knob loose and ready to come off. Did the three piece alcantara kit and had to get the knob off for that. I've never heard of the 2nd gear issue, and I don't think I have that issue, but I'll check it out.

 

I recently had my entire console out to Dynamat the tunnel sides, around the shifter base, and anywhere else I could get at. Really quieted things down as I had developed a nasty buzzing/razzing noise under there. Reminded me of my 2005 GT that had the parking brake lever rattle. I addressed that area as well too Post when you get it installed!!

 

Meh. Meh. What do you guys think? I like it from outside when you can see all the white and blue, then it makes sense. Inside the car, it stands out too much. The interior is too refined to have this bright ass white knob there. Everything else goes together...except the knob. I think I’d prefer a plan Red one to match the starter button. But for now...just meh. I’ll give it a chance though. I thought the old school white knob would be instantly cool, but...meh.

 

Where did you get the shift boot?

 

I like it looks great !!

 

Thanks for posting these interior photos. I just ordered the same exact shift knob for our new GT350 - to match the exterior colour. It just shipped out two days ago. Was thinking of going just plain black with the snake on the side, but changed my mind at the last minute.

 

Update...so based on my original comments/photo's, I took that one back off. Gave it a few days, but was not happy with it. One other thing I didn't like that I didn't mention originally was the size. That thing was big. If you got some big bear claws it may be OK, but it was too big for me. I swapped it out for the solid red Ford knob. Mucho mucho better. It's a smaller, more traditional size and the red matches very nicely with the red starter button sitting right there beside it. More subtle and flows better with the interior. Oh well.

 

Galaxy just seeing this... but I like it! What matters though is that you are happy with the final result. Post a pic of the Ford red shift handle, I'm assuming it's a ball not the stock unit? I really like the size of the ball, but glove size is a large so that's likely why.

 

Yesterday I returned to the stock knob. I liked the Ford knob better than the CJPP knob due to size and color, but this shift knob is one item on a long list of stuff that Ford got right. The size/shape works, and the design just compliments the interior better than any aftermarket knob is going to.

 

I ordered a red w/ white lettering. Nonstripes. Should be here this week along with some floor mats and a few other goodies hehe

 

Here is mine. Not Ruby Red, but it looks good!

 

Hey we’re did u buy the shifter from im looking to buy that exact one I can’t find it nowhere

 

Nice DTorres31, looks great and I really am really liking mine, perfect size and just feels so much better than the stock unit! Would be hard to go back now for sure!! I also think the larger, round shift knob gives it a "bad ass" muscle car look when you look into the interior and your eyes are immediately drawn to the shift knob (like the muscle cars of old)!

Hey madlag, late I know, but welcome to the forum and please post pics when you get yours installed. Do yourself a favor and pick up a strap wrench as the OEM knob is on pretty tight!

 

Just saw this. Thanks! I have one and will post pics soon:0

 

I’m a round knob guy; always have been. Therefore I’m not a big fan of the factory one. I couldn’t get onboard with the stripes though so I ordered the CJPP knob in red with white cobra and lettering. I thought it looked a little cleaner for my style. I’ll post some pics when I’m back in town.

 

spent some time with the shifter yesterday. Its amazing how much more you "feel" with the hard surface knob vs the softer stock one.

 

Any new rattles or vibrations when you guys are going to these Shelby cue ball knobs?
I like the feel of the stocker a lot but like the looks of the ball knob better so I'm on the fence about this mod????
I had the knob as an oem in my 2011 gt500 however that was too many cars ago, lol and I can't remember... 😂

Hey Hellfire, nice looking Shelby ya got there I have the Shelby "cue ball" shifter and really like it. Can't say that noise/vibration has noticeably increased still get the occasional "buzz" from the shifter, but it did that with the stock knob as well. I ordered the blue w/black print to match the exterior color. Since they don't manufacture these knobs until you order them, it takes a while to arrive - 8 - 12 weeks! Good luck, but I really like mine! be sure and get a strap wrench to remove the stock knob, it's on tight and you won't damage it that way.

 

Galaxy....Do you want to sell the white & blue CJPP nob?

Amazon? Really? Come on guys. Actually, I’m not above Amazon, but I do believe I’ve reached the tipping point with that organization.

Speaking of performance shift knobs, a few weeks back, just a week after purchasing 2018 GT350R w/700mi, I grabbed a billet, stainless 304 “lightbulb” shape in candy red from “Billetworkz”. The logo and gear graph engraving is essentially through the powdercoat to the steel and then cleared. It’s heavy, and I love it, along with the black powder coated extruded aluminum reverse lock-out collar, but if I’m brutally honest, the level of service when I ran into an installation issue was abysmal….as in “I didn’t exist” level of service. The alcantara shift boot, and the far greater challenge of getting the collar and shift knob just right was one hell of a fight though. Was really hard to believe how blatantly negligent the owner and maker turned out on the backside of the transaction, especially given the quality of the parts.

Sorry, trying to find photos here to post, clearly me = newbie here
