    Come on........ Jim....

    Don't tell me your F56 S purchase is hinging on weather you can transfer your shift knob....

    Does this question in any way equate to applying lipstick to an aardvark?

    Only if you put them in a vise first to flatten the sides!

    So just what IS the deal with the F56? I'm in the dark..

    Anyone got a picture of a nekkid shift lever?

    Never mind. I just watched the first part of a video, where the goober who was demonstrating the car yanked the knob and boot right off.

    I never have understood why some people pull up on a shift knob like that..

    In the video I watched, when the demonstrator yanked the knob off the lever, it was obvious that the design is the same as previous.

    Dimensionally, the lever could possibly be a little different; my glasses were dirty..

    I have no fear that he will make it work, if there has been a change.
