Additional information

This shift knob, part number 720-05093, installs on the shift lever to give you a comfortable, secure grip when selecting drive speeds or direction. A properly fitted knob helps make shifting smoother and more controlled during operation.

If the shift knob is cracked, loose, missing, or spins on the lever, it can make shifting difficult or uncomfortable. Worn threads or internal damage can also prevent the knob from staying secured.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Install the knob fully onto the shift lever and make sure it is seated securely so it does not loosen during use.
