Hello everyone,

I am not the most car savvy person so need some help changing my manual shift knob. I have ordered two shift knobs
both from amazon and eBay and neither worked. The whole is too small so I tried to make it bigger with a drill but this that didn't really work. Any idea/tips? Or links to an aftermarket shift knob that fits?

If I were in your situation, I would measure the diameter and height of the shift. Then use those measurements to find a compatible shift knob.

Also I was under the impression that most aftermarket shift knobs had set screws to hold them in place. Is that not the case anymore?

Been rocking no shift knob for a couple months now and like it. I like the one finger on the lever shifting, feel a little more vibration to

I have not looked too much into other kind of shift knobs. I wanted to put one similar to the original which does not need a screw but at this point I will use anything. This video made it look so easy but it looks like the 2012 version is different in terms of size.

Have you actually looked into a OEM GM replacement?
