I dont like the shift knob that it comes with show finger prints! Can anyone tell me where you can get the one that says JEEP on it like the one in the gallery from cgraskamp! Let me know..

There is a joke here...:smiley_thumbs_up:

I don't really have a problem with the current shift knob, but I'd like to see an alternative too. Something non-chrome

I wish I knew.

I did find the one I like it is off the compass!!

I did see a lighted skull shift knob at the car show this weekend. My son wanted me to get it for the Patriot.

Anybody have the Compass shift knob part number? From what I can tell they are the same. Did Jeep start putting the chrome ones on the Compass too? I am tempted to go rent a Compass and switch them :) Just kidding. If you pull straight up the shifter comes off fairly easy(found that out in a Caliber forum).

I've been keeping an eye on this site. Lots of cool stuff for the Patriot.

This is one of the first things I noticed too... I find it strange that my entire interior has the black and grey theme and then they throw a chrome shift knob in there.

If anyone can track that down that knob with "Jeep" on it, let me know!

Any luck finding quality alternative knobs?

Here's a Jeep one but I don't know if it would fit.

I don't really have a problem with the manual shift nob, however, I don't like the plastic dress around the stick. I noticed on the '08 UK CRD model, that they have a leather one, like most other cars. Will the '08 US model have this too?

id like to get an 8 ball....

call me old fashioned :P

i dont mind the knob but it i start to dislike ill hit up another one...until then ill enjoy it and see how it goes

yes, your JEEP DEALER has the part number. DUH! just give them a call and ask for a shift knob for a 2007 Compass. i think the '08s are different and don't say "Jeep" on them. they WILL interchange.

my '07 Compass DOES!!!!:D

is it a threaded knob or just held in by clips?

No threads just pull straight up.

Here's the '07 Compass Limited Jeep logo shift knob. It's fits my '07 autoPatSport just fine.

I can't take credit for the find. A poster on the Jeepforum.com site had the part number.

Total cost: $15.62usd.

Part number - 5273590AB knob-gearshift

moparpartsamerica.com - search the part number

Decline the VIN number request.

Pops off - pops on - looks good.

A little more info - the shifter DOES fit the 2007 AUTO shift stem. Not absolutely sure about the 2008 AUTO shift stem. Anyone know for sure on the 2008 auto?
The shifter DOES NOT fit the STANDARD (manual) shifter stem (see matty13 post).

I have a 2007 Patriot CVT. I would love to get this item. However, I have pulled fairly hard striaght up on the knob. Is the 2007 Patriot CVT knob pop off or is there a trick?

The little plastic "skirt" on the bottom of the knob seperates from th top piece and then you pull straight up and it should come right off. I have had mine off twice and I used a screwdriver to pry apart the plastic "skirt" and the top of the gear shift knob.

if your part info is correct, we can sell you that knob (pn5273590AB) for only $8.80 plus any shipping charge. Mopar Dealer List price is ONLY $11.00. as for installation, "jeep3" is correct.....

just let me know if you're interested......

Total cost: $15.62usd.

That's the knob and shipping = total cost

this is probably a stupid question..... but here it goes... just wondering

any chance that the part #'s are different for canadian models???

the other thing i'm worried about is that knowing our price differences the knob will probably cost in the upwards of $30 here in canada (from the dealership)....

I called a dealer here in Canada, It's the same part number, and the price was around $15 as well. I didn't order it yet because I haven't been able to get the current knob off yet. I'll take a look for this "skirt" today.

thanks... if that's the case then i shall be ordering mine as well... like you though i guess i should make sure i can get the old one off as well... thanks again...

I just went out and pulled mine off again. No big deal, no collar, just a good hard pull. We are talking about the CVT, right?

I took some pictures and if I have enough room left to post them, I will around noon.

This is all that the SM says:
Fig 1.
1. Pull up on shifter knob (3) and remove.

More pictures

thanks gramps... didn't need to pry the plastic collar... just get a nice firm hold on the thing and pull straight up... came right off... now that i know i can get the old one off... it's time to call the dealer and get the new one... hehehehehehe... just don't tell my fiance.... hehehehehehehe....

Ya, the collar stays put on the knob, that's why the extra pic. I didn't want anybody to tear something up for nuthin'.

I got my new shifter knob today and it looks great.

Thanks for all the information--especially the pictures Gramps--your right it just popped right off.

I got mine today also, the dealership ordered it on thursday and called yesterday and said it was in... picked it up $10.25 no shipping including tax, went out popped mine off, shoved mine on, and drove off. Love it. super simple.

got mine as well... came out to around $12 (CAD).... easy install... thanks again for all the info and pics....

With what seems like quite a few people wanting this shifter knob do you think Jeep will wise up and use it on the 09's or will they continue to get $10 a pop after selling us brand new vehicles for a part we wanted from the start?

I bet the mopar parts distributor is wondering why so many of these 07' shifter knobs are going to South Jersey.... they look so much better....

the edges are a little sharp and take a bit of getting used to (there always has to be at least 1 drawback to a mod!)

I'd like to get one of these knobs for my Pat, but the place you are referring to doesn't ship international or to Australia. I couldn't find any other place either.

Any suggestions?

Mossy go to your local jeep dealer with the part number they should be able to order it.

If you don't have any luck locally try Wyckoff (http://www.wyckoffchryslerparts.com/info.html). They do ship international.

Well, I got brave a gave a very hard pull and it did in fact come off. So, tomorrow I plan to go order the part. Thanks a lot for all the info.

I deserve credit since y'alls ILLEGALLY stole my pictures off my my ebay auction...

Just playing. I'll let it slide THIS time. Thanks for the help. I'm putting an order for this this tomorrow. I stole my wifes, and now I have to replace it... lol.

Something has just never seemed right about my stock shifter knob. I finally realized that the idiot who put it on in the factory put the indentation toward the front instead of toward the back. :doh:
So I gave it a tug (man do you have to mean it when you pull it off) and turned it around. Now it is much better. :smiley_thumbs_up:
This is why so many things have to be "keyed". The assembly worker will put things together just about anyway they "fit".

Ahemmm...
The "Idiot" at the assembly plant did it correctly...
Check the pictures of the interior at jeep.com for an example.

Well then, I guess I am the idiot. :BLAM:
It makes more since to me and my opposable thumb that I grab the shifter with my hand on top, fingers down the front, and thumb wrapped around the back than it does to wrap my fingers horizontally around the front with my thumb on top.
It is a good thing that they did not key this thing then!

Well, I'd like to thank everyone who spelled out the part number for the shift knob. I stopped by our dealership last friday to order it and he called today (monday afternoon) saying it's in and waiting for me. I ran over (rather quickly I might add) and picked it up for a grand total cost of $11.83 (Illinois taxes included).

It looks Mahhvelousss.

Chalk up another one to the forums success stories.

Ditto! Glad you like it...I cant believ how much nicer the console are looks with the new shifter knob!

will the commander shift knob fit?

If the commander knob will fit or not, I do not know. Im sure there is someone on this forum that has both vehicles and could do a quick test...
