I too would like to find a good screw on knob. I have a momo cobra, and it looks sweet, but doesn't like to stay on.

What exactly do you guys mean by the screw not really holding up? Does the whole knob actually slide off?
I'm looking for a shift knob for my 99 Accord LX coupe, Automatic Trans. Does anyone have suggestions? Thanks, Gee |

Some knobs have set screws to hold them on, they don't thread on themselves. These set screws vibrate out over time and cause the knob to become loose.

I looked on the side of my AT shifter today, and there was also a screw. So the stock isn't screw-on either right?

right... but your screw goes into a hole in the shifter... the aftermarket ones just screw to the shaft to hold it tight... not into any holes. its kinda like putting a christmas tree in the base the screws just snug up against it not go through it. if the tree was constantly running over pot-holes your tree would vibrate loose and "Timber!" it would come crashing down. very strange metaphor... but hey it works.

So none of the aftermarket AT knobs out there screw into the original screws for the stock knob?
Sounds kinda dangerous if you're driving and suddenly the knob falls off...  |

Just FYI - red it permanent, blue is not. I think I used blue b/c I didn't want to stick it on there too well. I tend to take my console off for various reasons and didn't want the set screws to strip when I tried to take them out.
