Guest Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 I did something stupid and broke off the wood veneer on the gear shifter knob of my 98 LS400 (See pic attached). Everything on parts sites is $110+. Seems like someone may have access to one in good shape for much less??

I have one off my 97, I put one of the $100 ones on mine, this is brown leather, no tears, $25 mailed to you in the USA 48.
jcrome04 Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Go to a dealership with a similar 98 LS and "test drive" it... swap out the knobs.... LOL Or better yet... maybe just buy from BillyD ;)

It took me 5 minutes to swap shift knobs in an 85 Chevy S10 I looked at the one in my LS and said NO WAY.

Thanks for that, I was not really thinking it would be more than unscrew so glad to know that is the case.
killerFatty Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 sorry for the false worry. Didn't mean to scare you.

I think I will look a bit more to try and stay "original" but if that doesn't work I will come back.

My DWP is standard, and had the leather knob, I changed it to this (photos) good luck..
