Question about shifter, um knob.

[mannye]

OK... go ahead... knob... OK good...get it all out? Now... on to the question...

I have a console with the woodgrain on it. Yet my shifter knob is the chrome one... I wonder if anyone knows if this is correct? The plastic button is flaking and before I shell out bucks either for a new um...knob... or have the button re-chromed (at God knows what cost) I wonder if it's not suipposed to be the fake wood knob.....:huh:

Is your steering wheel or dash woodgrain?

 

[a12bee]

You got 2 or 3 pedals? 2 I'm guessin'?

 

[beeper*71]

Your knob is flaking? :wtf: Oh dear.

I'd suggest using a different moisturizer.....and how in the heck do you fake a wood knob? :hmmm: .....Oh, nevermind. :shifty:

ive never personaly seen that style in fake wood...wasnt aware that B's came with the same knob as a's

The parts book lists only one knob for a 68 automatic console.

It looks like the chrome one - which is what I thought all along - chrome in 68.

The only woodgrain knob I see in the book for 68 is on a manual tranny.

and if you want to know the part number, it's 2660357.
The button is 2800819

Thanks...but it's a 69... are they the same for both 68 and 69?

if it works, it's right :huh:

Ive never seen anything else- just pull it and paint it silver and shoot some clear over it.[smilie=f:

:doh:

Okay, then it could be either, but I would think that with all the other woodgrain pieces, the knob should be as well.

I'll go dig up part numbers in a minute.

[mannye]

first of all... thanks for the info! THat's awesome!

Now... I'm not sure I quite understand...chrome button would assume chrome know too right? I don't think I have EVER seen a woodgrain knob with a chrome button...but of course I'm no expert.

 

[dodgechargerfan]

Oh yeah sorry. I had that ectra info handy so I posted it.

Wood knob gets black button..

Die cast knob gets chrome button.
