so my s10 has a b&m short throw, and so does my 240… just recently ive been wanting a new shift knob. so it occured to me that i could just steal the s10’s…FAIL! different sizes! the thread on the 240 is half the size of the s10! my shift knob just drops right onto it… really, why do they have to do this? anyway… anyone selling a ball style shift knob? ---

Blame it on the OEM manufacturer not B & M. Nissan’s threads are different from GM meaning aftermarket parts will be as well. ---
