ali 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2005 (edited) Been there done that, i cant remember how much it was but the new knob was about $150 and the converter was about another $150.... Not to mention that it was a pain in the ass to switch over.... To be honest i think that you can change it with the old shaft still there but i cant confirm that??
