Look at by shiny blue knob - White Madness!

Does anyone know what size allen/hex key we need to unscrew the stock shift knob?

I got mine in yesterday but don't have the correct size in my allen key set (7/64ths kept slipping, 1/8ths was too big).

It is metric I think 3 mm

Thank you both! I went and got a 3mm and it seems that my screw is on there pretty tight. I'm afraid I might strip it.

How much effort did it take you to unscrew that bolt? I feel like it shouldn't be that hard (but there is also the high possibility that I'm a moron...)

Correct.

Give it the beans!

Sorry, but I'm afraid your knob is stuck in a black hole.

I said pardon? His knob is stuck where?

Hey White Madness Garage,
How close is your competition orange to the Ford Cyber Orange?

In a crevasse where there is no illumination and high humidity.

Things do not seem to be going for me the past few days. I dropped the bolt like a dunce somewhere in my car/garage and can't seem to find it. It was kind of stripped anyways so probably a good idea to replace it.

I'm thinking of ordering some replacement bolts from McMaster-Carr but not sure what size to order.

Does anyone know what the length of the m3 bolt is?

I asked Ducatti but Ford doesn't list that part separately from the manual shifter assembly so he wasn't sure.

I don't have the exact size but if I remember correctly it was about 1/2". Maybe buy 1 ea. 1/2 & 3/4 @ a hardware store to be safe.

Sounds good. Thank you!

M3 is the wrench size.

M3 is the wrench size.

Ah ok, that makes sense. Thank you so much for your help (and patience)!
