I'm looking for a new manual shift knob for my 99 Sunfire...Are there any good sites for finding some nice ones? And. While I'm still on subject. How do you get the Knob off?On?

Put your car in second or fourth (it's easier to get to). Theres a little clip in the front towards the bottom of the nob. Get a small flat head, wedge it in the clip and pull it out. The knob will just pull off. If you've never removed it before, which I doubt you have it can be a pain the @!#$ ass.
As far as knobs go, I bought mine at Pep boys. It's set screw knob, but what I did was I cut the top off of the adapter, pushed that on the shift lever as hard as I could get it on, and wedged it between the new knob and the lever. My knob doesn't spin or anything like that. It only comes off with brute force so.. It's on there tight.
I also put in on screw just for safe keeping. But be careful with the cheap set screw knobs. The holes tend to strip easily.
Here's my knob:
I have the B&M, and it is by far the best mod i've done to my car to date. I am rockin the Hurst ball knob, it is about the size of a cue ball and it is the same knob used in older muscle cars. Not the best pic but w/e
Best Time 15.917 at 86.86MPH
Thanks man. Will start on that soon/

Dito, but not the best mod. I think the exhaust is just ahead of it. However, the B & M is a great mod.
Yeah. Already ahead of ya on the exhaust. That was the first thing I did to that car when i got it..

Firstcar... you got a closer pic of the shifter? Also where did you buy the B/M from?

I have a full exhaust. Actually the first mod that got my started on this addicting need for speed was my Coilovers. That was the first intentional mod. My clutch went about a week before I got the coilovers. The dealer wanted over $1200 for a new Factory clutch and installation. I said @!#$ you, went out to the local shop, got myself a Clutch Masters Stage 1 and had my performance shop put it in. Still cost a pretty penny, but I'll tell ya. $750 total (clutch and installation) for a racing one no less, is a hell-of-a-lot better than an OE for $400 more.
Anyway, the exhaust came after the Coilovers, and struts. Magnaflow, baby. Gatta love it. Then headers and cat. then I lost track....
Haha. Well. I have a Flowmaster setup. I have a pacesetter 4-2-1 header. yes. I know they're crap, but I sent it in to get powder coated. Now its awesome. Then I got a high flow cat and kept the 2 1/4" piping into my 60 Series DF Flowmaster. But I'm soon hoping to get coilovers and drop it. Oh and thanks for all the help with the knob removal. Worked great!
