Transfer case shift knob

If it's about Power Wagons, all generations, this is where it'll go. This is the original PWR Forum Power Wagon Technical Discussion Section. And this includes everything that doesn’t fit in any one of the other categories related to the truck goes here!

Transfer case shift knob

Post by btsbarton » Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:51 pm

Love my 2019 power wagon, especially the great interior... but either the designers were lazy or the bean counters were stingy, and they’ve kept the same transfer case shift knob they’ve used since the mid 90s.

Fortunately it’s an easy fix since it uses a common M10x1.5 thread. I drew up the shift pattern on the computer, tracing/interpolating the letters and numbers from the tachometer so the front matches. Then I sent the design to [Shift Solutions Co, and they laser engraved it onto this nice stainless knurled knob.

I love it! Fits right in with the rest of the interior now! Added benefit: It has more weight and sits higher so it’s easier to shift!

First 3 photos weren’t meant to be attached and it won’t let me delete them. Good thing it’s nothing personal, but maybe the moderator is able to remove them?

I'm not normally a fan of shift knobs but that looks great, really fits the interior of the 2019s.

I can’t imagine they would try to reject a warranty claim over a screw on shift knob?!

Anyways here’s a couple better/daylight photos

Looks nice. But I don't think I've ever given a moments thought to what mine looks like.

That looks great. Looks like a Toyota FJ knob.

Very nice. My '01 and my '16 have the same shifter knob which I thought was cool. Now not as much...

That looks fantastic! Hate to ride on the coattails of greatness, but is there any chance you could upload the file you came up with for the engraving? I love the way that came out and would like to order one myself.

DM me your email and I’ll email it to you (it’s not a jpeg so I don’t think I can just upload it here)
