Changed non-electronic shifter knob to Hyundai one

THANK YOU for opening up these possibilities for us!

So you don't need one that has the button on it?

There is a button on it in the front of the knob (not a thumb button).

Seriously, thanks for taking a shot at this. Mine arrived today, looking forward to the swap!

D'oh! Didn't see that!

The 2019 Forte / 2020 Soul / 2020 Telluride shift knob part number is 46720M6110. I looked into that shifter before I bought the Elantra N line one. I didn't want a shifter with a thumb button.

For the Telluride / Forte / Soul shifter, would you need a boot to go with it?

Most likely yes if you want to get the matching shift boot collar. This is a little plastic piece that holds up the shift boot to the shift knob. Without the collar, you would have to zip tie or find a way to tie the shift boot to the shift knob.

The shift boot collar is not a separate part. It only comes with the shift boot.

Looks like this.

Looks like you just invented a new trim, the Stinger N.

Ok. I successfully replaced it but now the new knob won't pull out... I wanted to make sure I didn't push it in too tight but now it's stuck. It works fine though.

Does anyone know if this is normal?

This is a layup... won’t pull out. Pushed it in too tight. Bahahhahaa.

Lol. So does this mean I need to get something fixed here? Honestly a little worried.

Double entendre dude.

It may help to have pictures of what you are describing, maybe someone can offer a suggestion based on photos

Yeap, normal. I had to place a leg on each side of the center console and then use the legs as leverage to pull out the knob. Be careful not to hit the rear view mirror or your jaw.

Thank you everyone! I pulled it out. Took everything in me plus more. King Arthur's got nothing on me.

How far should you push in the shift knob? I so far pushed it in just enough so that it works and shifts easily.

The FSM says "Remove the knob (A) by pulling it in the direction of arrow after removing the boots from the console upper cover". However, I don't actually see an arrow.. So, just pull straight up? Is there a point under the boot that can be pushed against, using something like a reverse clamp / pliers or something? Would seem easier than "pull really, really hard".

Mine arrived today - eager to try the swap!

One corner of the frame for my boot popped up with some gentle tugging straight upward on the boot itself. Then it was a pretty easy thing to ease out the remaining clips.

I used pliers to compress the clips holding up the collar on the stock knob, so I could slide the collar off (FYI it's glued to the inside of the boot). Just like OP said, you have to trim the top of the stock boot so the new collar and knob can seat properly.

Total time was less than ten minutes. Simple swap, looks great.

Thanks Hamburger1971 - just curious about your moniker? I was also born in 1971 not too far from Hamburg..

My question was about the "pulling hard on the knob to remove it", not about removing the boot / trim, though..

Ok, just did this. Ran into on obstacle. After separating new collar from new boot, decided to do a test fit.

Knob wouldn't go down far enough - it wouldn't engage the lock-out button (it wouldn't push down the internal white spring-loaded lever that engages the lock-out). I think this is related to post #19 - filing new grooves. I forgot about that, but looking for a solution, also removed the silver trim piece above the collar (the one that's ~1/3 of an inch). Similar removal - use two small flat screwdrivers to push in both tabs.

(incidentally, I found that my large needle-nose pliers were able to release both tabs on the new boot collar, which really helped - those double tabs are a PAIN!.)

After removing that silver trim piece, I pulled out the clip that was there - it didn't seem to do much, and voila - it worked. I didn't believe it at first, and tried to re-install the clip, and again, it wouldn't work. So I, once again, removed the clip and put everything back together. Seems to work fine now - I tested it.

For now, I didn't re-glue the original boot to the new collar - there's enough pressure there to keep it pushed up, and I'm not a stickler for the square/flush look. It does expose the block collar, but it doesn't look too bad, IMHO - it's a black piece of shiny plastic, so it kinda looks like it belongs anyway. May revisit that later when I have time and/or the boot pops out and becomes annoying.

There isn't a need to file new grooves if you're using the 2019 Elantra/I30 N Line shift knob. You just have to push/hit the new shift knob down with some force. That should cause it to lock into the existing grooves.

At least, that's what I did with mine. I didn't file new grooves. I just whack the shift knob with my fist.

Great job. Looks much better.

Guess I was afraid to hit it THAT hard - it didn't want to budge. Plus, it's not like I YANK on my knob that often, so to speak. In my first car ('84 Jetta GLI - 5MT) that I got used, someone had replaced the shift knob, and the one that was on there kept slowly sliding off - probably because I was a bit of a shifting lunatic.. However, there's very little of that motion required for this shifter - just tap up/down in manual mode, if I want - and I have the paddles.

It looks WAY better, and even if it were to slip off, it's easy to slip back on. For now, I'm going to leave as is.
