Those with VooDoo knobs - Spacing
 
To those of you running Voodoo shift knobs; do you find that the knob sits too close to the shift boot? Have any of you come up with any unique and clean solutions to raise it up slightly?

Possible Solutions: Raise knob OR lower shift boot.

1. Remove insulation from under the shift boot. Should allow the shift boot to go a little lower over the shifter.
or...
2. Remove stock shift boot and trim it. Removing material will reduce the amount that it pushes up into the knob.
or...
3. Buy a cheap ebay shift boot for 4 bucks and trim it (so you don't mess up the stock one).
or...
4. Not quite sure how to go about this, but I'm sure their is a way to put a spacer nut or something on before the voodoo which would allow the knob to sit higher and still be tight.


I'm sure someone else will have better ideas. Mine tend to be lazy solutions and not very well thought out. :lol2:
Even though I went with the ebay boot and it does pretty well.

I took car of my low Voodoo knob situation. I went to Home Depot and found some hard rubber washers in the plumbing section of the store. One small diameter to go over the shifter shaft and a slightly bigger one to go over the first washer and mate nicely with my Voodoo knob. Not it sits 1/4" higher and I don't rub my fingernails on the leather shift boot.

Does anyone know what the warranty is on these knobs. I'm starting to see spider cracks in mine. It looks like scratches but I don't wear jewelry or anything so it cant be that.

I really dont know. I would contact Voodoo and see. They seem like a good company maybe they could work something out. I got mine in crinkle black so i dont think i will be seeing the same problem.
