Cadillac CTS-V - Any good shift knobs?

When I bought my V it had a T grip on it. I'm not crazy about it and want to try something else. I was thinking just the suede one everyone has.
Is it fairly easy to do it yourself? Not sure how this one is attached or if they're all pretty much the same. I tried google and YouTube but came up empty handed.

get a suede V2 shift nob.. I did and I am extremely happy with it. Looks great feels great and it really compliments the interior like it should have been there from day 1.

TWM weighted knob for me that i tapped for my katech shifter. Love it.

TWM weighted is the way to go. What shifter do you currently have?

Ooo those TWM's are very classy.. Hadn't heard of them before.

And sorry Garrett, I haven't posted enough to get classifieds yet, whatcha got?

And I've got katech short throw with a B&M T grip. I like it, but kinda think I'd prefer a more traditional grip. Plus it's aluminum and is crazy hot if I leave it parked in the sun for very long.

Can't send pictures through im but if you supply an email address otherwise check the link.

Mine is the same finish... Satin silver. Matches the interior piece as he said. Gets warm in the sun but not too hot. Assuming the satin finish helps for that. Mine is the piston model but very similar to the one he has. On my katech threaded all the way down, it's nice and short where I like it.

Im jealous. I have that same knob but its satin silver. Looks good and i love the knob itself but i really wanted the gunmetal finish.

Here is my Holden on a shortened B&M Shifter

That looks nice

They state on the website that the combo of that knob with the 6 speed shift pattern in the gunmetal finish isn't available, but you can actually place the order for it. I totally disregarded the note about that combo not being available. Didn't even see it to be honest. Placed the order for that combination and they emailed me back saying that it's not normally available, but they just happened to have some bare knobs going out for finishing and they would throw one of the piston knobs with the shift pattern into the batch going to gunmetal for me. Got lucky I guess..

That's some good luck! I'm not unhappy with my satin silver knob. I saw that note on their website about the gunmetal not being available and then I traded some corsa tips i had for this satin silver piston knob to "Onefast V". I wanted the piston style knob for sure and figured if I couldn't get gunmetal, satin silver would be my next option so it would match the silver on the interior pieces which it does and trading worked out nicely.

I just bought one of these....ive never replaced one before, can you give me any pointers.

Just picked up a new Momo and I've been reading about popping off the existing knob. Sounds like....put it in reverse, push forward, and pull up as hard as you fricking can and try not to send the old knob through the moon roof when it finally does come off!
Sound right?
Lol....one guy said "wrap a towel around your right arm so when it slams into the roof liner you won't do any damage".....that's some funny shit!

main thing is to be carefull with the clips on the bezel that attach the boot to the center console. Remove the bezel first then just stick it in second or 4th and pull up, dont yank on it but pull upward. If you hit the roof you're grossly over doing it.

To be honest I think people make a big deal of taking this knob off. Yes you have to pull on it hard when its in reverse. Kind of push foreward and pull up at the same time. A more difficult task IMO is to place the boot to come up to the shifter itself so there is no gap. (since an aftermarket knob is not going to clip into the boot). PVC pipe works best for me slid over the stalk of my short shifter.

I went with a factory c6 knob. I like the way the shifter is angled towards the driver. Thinking about getting a weighted knob tho cuz it's crazy hard to get this car in reverse.

Doubt a half pound knob is going to make your required 50lb push much easier man...I deal w that crap as well

I picked up one of the TWM knobs that weigh over a pound, suffice it to say it makes shifting easier. I think it was the desert eagle model, well worth the price and the tinkering to get it to fit.

shifting yes Im sure, but having a difficulty putting a car in reverse or first gear for that matter has nothing to do with the weight of the knob. You can put a damn barbell on there and still have to push till you turn blue to get it in gear.

Granted, shifter bushings and a fresh trans mount will work wonders on those issues. My point being that once you have taken care of those, a good weighted knob will still make a difference.

Reverse is a bitch no matter what you attach to the top of the shifter stalk.

I don't have any issues with getting the car in any gear....they all seem pretty easy. I do notice though, when the car is hot it kind of runs and shifts like shit. I'm guessing a clutch fluid change might help that a bit. When it's hot its really hard to get smooth shifts in the first three gears. The car jumps all over the place....
