Installation notes

Note: check before ordering whether your shift levers have original threads (5/16-24). On some vehicles the threaded ends are worn or broken — in that case push-on knobs are required. The shift knobs are simply screwed onto the thread.

Compatibility

Fits original shift levers with 5/16-24 thread. NOT suitable for levers with worn threads or where push-on knobs are required. Early WWII vehicles used the same knob for all three levers (hard rubber). Later versions changed to a larger knob for the gearbox — this set follows the early pattern with identical knobs.

Historical context

The original WWII military jeeps used black hard rubber shift knobs without decorative ring. The simple, functional design reflects the military specifications of that period.

Restoration part — not a ready-to-fit product

This part is intended for the restoration of historic military vehicles. Fitting, aligning, deburring or reworking is part of that work and is inherent to the nature of these goods. Dimensional variation also exists between original vehicles.
