    Got this neat little shift knob at Auto Zone

    Looks cool, fits the car's style, and it way more comfortable than the stock one. $11.99 at AutoZone in San Antonio TX.

    Looks good. Just now have to upgrade shift boot too.

    Just now noticed the little differences with DE and SE.

    Thanks! And I cannot emphasize enough how much more comfortable it feels. Maybe because I'm 40+. Haha.

    About the trim differences, yep... You get some silver detailing on places like the steering wheel, the dashboard. I think Mitsubishi pulled that off (the silver trim) quite nicely.

    BUT... BUT! There are no numbers on it! How do you know what gear you're in?

    Hahaha! It's funny how we just know which gear we're in, without even thinking about it, huh?

    My question is do the numbers change if you're in Europe?

    Interesting fact: In NSW(Australia) That shift knob would be a defect as no H pattern is on the top. To cover this, you must have a H pattern sticker nearby.

    The way it fits is that it has a few plastic adapters that you screw on the lever. These self-thread tightly. Then you put over that an aluminum collar that has the threads for the shift knob. This goes over the plastic adapter and you tighten it with a couple Allen setscrews.

    It sounds wacky, but it works. It's pretty darn tight.
