IT EASY ! Its just that no one has tried hard enough.
the P5 and the MSP share the same shifter, they just have different thread adapters on them. its a big steel peice that is pressed on to the shaft. To get the MSP knob to fit you have modify the knob, not the shifter.
Ok first off, It easy just put tthe knob in a vise, be sure to wrap it in masking tape and some rags to keep from marring the knob and the leather.
Now cut at the very base of the knob, flush all the way through. Take your time and go slow, you dont wanna slip and hit the knob.
After your done clean it up about with a file and your almost ready to mount it. Now you have to make the hole in the boot a little bigger so it sets flush on the shaft adapter, a file does the job well, just make sure not to put a hole in the boot.
after that, test fit the knob by ascrewing it on all the way, "SPARCO" may not be striaght. Buts its ok, if not simply get a 12mm diameter washer and place it on the shaft on top of the boot. Now screw the knob down. It should line up.
