they actually don't rub hardly ever. only if I go up a curb at a high speed or if I hit a pretty big dip while turning.

New shift knob was about 50-60 on ebay. My existing one just unscrewed. The new shifter wasn't t hard to modify... but you do need the right drill bit so that you don't drill it out too much and make the hole too big... then it will just wobble around like a bobble head. The drill bit has to be big and fairly long too. I starter with a smaller one, then moved up to longer and bigger drill bits as I got closer to the right size. I'd drill a little, then install it and back and forth. Did that at least 10 times until I got it right. You will also need a vice or clamps to hold the knob in place while you drill it out. Use a cloth of course so you don't ruin the knob. I originally was planning on making new threads in the knob, but that wasn't necessary. It is tight as heck and it doesn't move or turn whatsoever.
Good luck...
