    The stock shift knob "un-screws". Simply turn it counter-clockwise. As far as what will fit, you would have to determine the thread size / pitch from the stock shift knob.

    Hope this helps.

    What's wrong with the way the shift knob looks???

    (When you're over 60, none of that silly stuff matters any more! That's how I save money. :LOL: :ROFLMAO:) ​

    Actually, what would be cool would be paying homage to the old muscle cars with a Derringer shift knob since a pistol grip would be the wrong orientation.

    I wouldn't mind one that was lighted, but that wouldn't be just a simple switch out.

    actually if the knob is a simple "twist-off" then you can search for touch activated shift knob on ebay.
    I think these are what you are referring to.

    I'm pretty happy with the one that came with the car, actually.
