FAQs
Is this knob compatible with automatic transmissions?
This knob is designed primarily for manual gear stalks. It may not be compatible with automatic shifters that feature a release button or locking mechanism.
How do I swap the emblems?
The emblems are designed to be friction-fit or snapped into the top cap of the gear knob. Gently pry the current one out using a thin, non-marring tool and press the new one in.
Does this knob come with all necessary installation tools?
The package includes the necessary components for mounting, though you may require a standard Allen key to tighten the set screws.
Will the leather stitching fray over time?
The leather is designed for automotive durability. Standard care and avoiding snagging rings or sharp objects on the surface will keep the stitching intact.
Can I use this on a threaded shift stalk?
Yes, the universal design accommodates various mounting styles, including threaded stalks, by utilizing the included mounting adapters.
Troubleshooting
Knob feels loose or wobbles during shifting
Re-tighten the set screws located at the base of the knob and ensure the internal adapter is firmly seated.
Difficulty threading onto the shift stalk
Verify that your vehicle's shift stalk diameter is compatible with the provided universal adapters.
Emblem is not sitting flush
Ensure the emblem housing is clean and that the emblem is pressed firmly into the seating groove until it clicks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward due to the universal mounting system. Typically, this involves unscrewing your existing shift knob, selecting the appropriate thread adapter (if required), and securing the new Pilot knob using the provided set screws. Before installation, clean the shift stalk of any debris. For maintenance, wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth periodically to prevent dust buildup. Use a non-abrasive metal polish occasionally on the chromed aluminum components to maintain the factory shine. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the leather to prevent drying or cracking.
