There is a joke here...:smiley_thumbs_up:

 

I wish I knew.

 

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 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).

 

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!!!!

 

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

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

Here's the shifter knob. This was seen in another thread that dealt with Storage grip & trim sets.

The eBay seller goes by soccerbrf.

 

I emailed the guy... shifter knob not available...but found this one.

This is the part that can be ordered with the instructions at the link provided above, for under $20 including shipping.

 

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

 

No threads just pull straight up.

 

Once again, here's the Jeep logo shifter

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.

 

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.
