ECT Stealth PRO shift knob

Had to be a little different.

 

First white one I’ve seen done, and gotta say that’s pretty clean!

 

Good job! Very nice! Will look great in your white truck!

 

Yep my right side didn't want to work good.(at all)
spent 1 1/2 hours fitting the side / filed the switch side/took some stock off the knob radius/ changed it from a .030 rad to .070 rad/ polished the assemble/ and then i had to add a drop of hot glue to stop it from moving in when you push it after a few times/ so after that the left side works nice but the right side is a little soft.
So to answer your question "yes"
"some settling may occur during shipping and your experience may be different then posted"

 

Looks good man! Doing mine in silver sky metallic

 

With a little sanding of the paint off of the side both buttons work flawless. Thanks for your reply!

 

I know there's already a bunch of pictures on this but figured I'd post my two cents. I installed my shifter yesterday with the buttons. I found it easier to screw the shifter on first and then put the side buttons on 2nd to be able to plug in the wires and then push them down below the boot. And then I went and put the top cover over the shifter. Overall happy with the set-up but still haven't figured out what I'm going to do for the second switch since it's just a momentary switch. I wired this into MESO'S ECT mod that I had previously installed. I still have to get used to not grabbing the shifter where the pointy parts are because I feel I could scratch myself but I'm slowly learning it. As always still extremely happy with meso's mods. You can even see in this picture one of meso's badges, coin holder, and also his center switch panel.

 

is this the slot in the collar everyone is threading the white connectors?

Then once heat shrinked they need to be stuffed back through the collar to be able to clip into the knob correct?

And obviously test which connector to which button before the heat shrink

 

Yup. That's the one. Be sure you have it pulled up like your photo shows. I think some of mine bunched up rather than going down the hole, but as long as it's loose it seems to be OK.

 

Thank you sir

 

I didn’t put the heat shrink on and wanted to make sure everything would button up fine. Started to push the wires/connectors through the slot and it did the same- bunched up. Ended up lifting the center console up enough to pull from underneath. Once I put it in reverse I lost connection so I pulled everything up reconnected and left the collar down and wires out for now. It’s too dark to pull the heat gun and extension cord.

Slapped on a hidden tag same as behind the taillight

 

yep iv been having a little hard time getting it all in there , ok for one plug but not two, it would help a lot if the wires were 2 inches longer.... good luck ever getting it out if you heat shrink it.

 

I believe it was mentioned many pages back to open up the hole more in the chrome collar where the white connectors go through. This will allow more play in the harness & ease the install

 

TL;DR: Disaster averted, I'm a herp derp.

While installing the stage 2, after getting everything back together the wires popped apart when shifting to netural or further. So I undid it, heat shrinked the wires and the same thing happened. But this time the wires to the small connectors on the harness popped out. One connector was still connected to the shift knob wires.. The other is no where to be found.

Should I be concerned if it fell down into the open space where the drive shaft moves?

Edit: also, where would I get another connector for the male side?

Edit 2: Omg I feel dumb. So I got to thinking (after a bit of panic and pulling the console out completely for a while looking everywhere with a flash light ), there's no way there would be enough tension on the wires unless the other connector was still in the heat shrink when I removed the knob.

What should I do? Retrace my steps of what I did with the knob after cutting the heat shrink! Crawling on the ground with the flash light from the kitchen, through the laundry room (pretty dirty under the dryer, I should clean that) to the garage. Found a USB to usb-c adapter, that's cool. Went to the tool box, where I test fitted more heat shrink tubing. Duh, the little f-er was in my test fitted tubing. Fiance thinks I'm nuts, but that's nothing new. Do be do be do

 

Do this mean the white connectors are stuffed but above the collar or pushed down below the collar

 

Did you paint the button or vinyl?

 

I have the single and the plug is above the collar.

 

Thank you sir, I will try this before I heat shrink it- would eliminate the possibility of pulling out.

I did see 1 mention way back of drilling the hole bigger but if I don’t have too

 

You just have to play with connection in different places until the boot will snap back on without crushing the connector or wires.

 

I have stage 2 and had to drill into the collar to make space, but that's just me. I didn't care to experiment with positioning to make it fit without modification.
