Aftermarket shift knobs 2002

[Deputy JJG]

Has anyone changed their shift knob to an aftermarket one? Did it function properly? JJG

No such part exists. Unfortunately they did not make many 2002-2005 Thunderbirds, as a result there was not much interest from aftermarket companies to make quality aftermarket parts.

Thanks. I just think the red knob is gaudy.

I found a faux wood grain shift knob on eBay that is supposed to be a direct replacement (still have to install it). In the meantime, check out these potential options:

I have seen a leather cover that no color comes thru. Not sure where/how to get one.

Two of these are "universal" solutions and will look terrible. The other one ships from Hong Kong so make sure you save the original shifter when the replacement breaks.

A couple of years ago I switched my shifter knob with a nice walnut wood one I got out of a Lincoln LS. It's an identical swap and easy to do.
