Just want to ask if it's possible to change the shift knob of the 6 spd MT for an aftermarket one, and how to remove the stock knob?. Is there any brand out there that has a specific knob for the kia? Most of this is because of the the lever that you pull up to shift to reverse. Any body change their shift knob??? pics would be great if you have them....thanks

Turn the knob counter clock-wise. There are many venders on here that sell shift knobs, check 'em out.

Thanks for the advice. As far as vendors goes I know you could get a lot of aftermarket products out there but I'm concern about the reverse lever whether a new knob won't interfere with it

Hey man, I have an aftermarket shift knob. Its from TWM Performance who is a site sponsor and sells short shifters as well. I do not have a picture but its a weighted round knob that is engraved with the gears. It is compatible with the reverse lock so check them out. And to remove the knob just unscrew it (righty tighty, lefty loosey)

Youll find that many shift knobs use the same thread. My knob is Tuscani, from a Hyundai Tiburon.

Any Aftermarket shift knob with a pitch thread same as the KIA will fit.

so i did a little search here

M10 X 1.25

but those aftermarket knobs...will it effect the reverse lock?

It should say if it is reverse lock out compatible.... I think shark racing has a cheap aluminum one, I think it's like 25-35 dollars.

OEM Manual Shift Knob

^^ depending on how big the bottom of that shifter is, the reverse lockouts collar should slide right over.

I got a green skull knob that people have probably seen in autozone. Sells for like 13 bucks the only issue is its held in with a rubber cap and 3 screws that don't always stay tight on the auto shiftstick. Still looks bad a** tho lol
