DatLady620 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Im trying to find a shifter knob for my 76 620. I need some ideas, my stock one is a piece of shit and I cant find much as far as automatic knobs. Help Ratsuners! Thx Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 I have a column shift and I turned this on the lathe. I have a matching turn signal knob and door lock pulls: Quote Link to comment
DatLady620 Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Very nice! I wanted to do something like that but mine is a floor shift so I need the button:( The lathes are nice to have. My husband has one and he did a turn signal knob for my truck. Thanks for the Oic! Let me know if you have any ideas. Here is a photo of the turn signal he made. 1 Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Very similar to mine: 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Automatics need the push button for the interlock. Quote Link to comment
dato Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'm guessing yours is cracked down the middle like what happens to all of them...you can use a shift knob off an 80's maxima they are leather wrapped so they aren't all cracked like the normal plastic ones. Quote Link to comment

Hey thanks for the info. That's exactly what I was hoping to find through this thread. Ill keep my eyes open! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 My '74 710s was cracked like that... must be common. I replaced with an '84 Maxima handle. It's similar looking and softer? to grip. Sort of like a dash pad finish and not solid hard plastic like the original. Quote Link to comment
heretic Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 you can also use one from a 240/260/280z cars, 200sx or just about any late 70's early 80's auto trans Datsuns & Nissan. The one I found was chromed metal & leather no cracking ever with that one. .... Ill keep my eyes open! Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Automatics need the push button for the interlock. Depends on the automatic! My 1967 Borg Warner has no such push button! Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Here is my modded 620 auto shifter with a 280ZX knob. A little cutting, a little turning in a lathe, and a little welding and now it fits my 520 better IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment
