I painted mine jam nut gloss black because mine has the logo on it. The one issue that I did have with the shift knob (adapter) is that at first it locked my key in the ignition! I called and they have never heard of this before. When I took the knob and adapter off my key came out like it supposed to. So, I figured out that the spring was not putting enough pressure on the knob to raise it far enough UP in the 'park' position. I stretched out the spring a bit and the whole thing worked as intended. The people at Twisted Shifter were not exactly pleased to hear this and instead of listening to me they were glib and blew me off--and this was after they screwed up my order 4 times and took 8 weeks to get it right! BUT, the knobs are great and I love mine and since they are the only ones doing this...what choice do you have? So, my advice to any prospective buyers out there is CALL to make your order, CALL again to confirm your order. Twisted Shifter had to pay for 3 shipping tags (I paid for the first one, of course) during the course of my purchase. I am pretty sure my experience is NOT the norm, but I could be wrong. They did try hard to make me happy, but not without a bit of an attitude.

Dave, no need for the jamb nut on a knob that doesn’t have a logo. Just thread it all the way down. If you select a knob with a logo, just use Teflon tape on the threads then tighten the knob down until your log lines up straight. Again, no need for the jamb nut.
@YellowVette04

I knew the jam nut was for lining up logos, but figured it would help stop it from turning constantly. The Teflon tape is a great idea and now I'm going to do that instead of painting the nut black. Thanks for the tip 👍. Great idea.

These parts shouldn't have anything to do with dead battery. C5s are known for the constant battery draw from the computer. If you haven't started the car in a few weeks then it'll most likely have a dead battery. Get a trickle charger for times you're not driving. If that's not the reason, then I'm not sure what it is. Shouldn't have anything to do with this though.

That's the one complaint I've heard about others. Haven't heard anything bad about theirs so that's why I gave it a shot.

This type of shifter knob lets my hand rest there as it naturally does after driving stick so long, It just feels better than stock button press knob. Plus, when I want to "get on it" I can easily shift to 1, punch it and shift to second when I want. Never had the need to manually shift to third as I'm over 100 by then. It just makes it more fun to drive an auto. A good cheap investment I would recommend.
