So i got my speed today and the shift knob has a rubber grip around it that is loose and slipping off the knob. I think its the stock one? Would this be covered under warrenty???

Definitely if you're under 12k miles. If over 12k, then it depends on how good of a complainer you are.

I am pretty sure they have stopped making them. You can try.

i bought the car with 15k on it. I will ask... I guess our dealership is pretty cool with mods etc.. My exhaust muffler is cracked too, I should still be able to get the revised model even though its over 12K?

Just take the knob to an upholstery shop and have them make a new leather piece. It will probably last longer than the OEM one. I just pulled mine off, as I got tired of it spinning around.

The original style was not mass produced, you will be hard-pressed to find an exact replacement or have it replaced by the dealer.

yes it is coverd. i am picking up a new one next week. ask your dealer now though because they are on backorder and will take a while to get one. i asked for one about 2 months ago and is just now here...btw i have 24k miles.

Just get an aftermarket knob....unless you are in love with the stock knob. Mine was the first thing gone. Manny like the Greddy / Trust counterweight knobs , they are threaded. I still have my stock knob....never thought about selling it until now. Might go on Ebay.

I got mine replaced under warranty at about 18k miles(?). Mine was a 2003, but they gave me a 2003.5. Of course, I've had my car in for a number of problems, so they might have just felt bad for me.

I have no idea what these go for. I will look into it.

Thanks, please let me know. Mine is just barely starting to get loose where my thumb grabs on to the shifter, but I know it's just a matter of time before it goes bad. I'd like to buy yours because I want to keep mine on until it starts to really look like crap. Then I'll either put on the one I by from you(if you sell it to me for a good deal) or take it to the dealer to see about replacing it and then keep the one I by from you for later.
