Just remember that the ranger has a splined shifter and not threaded. You can make anything a shift knob with a little work. But basically, yes, any knob will work with some effort.

Doesn't matter. Yes our shifters are splined but any "Universal" knob will work. I have a Pilot handle on mine. They come with a plastic bushing assortment. If your shifter requires one use it. Mine didn't. Place the handle on the shifter. Tighten the bottom ring to the handle. Use the set screw in the side of the handle to tighten the handle to the shifter.

Poof! A new handle. Since this gives you all the options in the world don't just put anything on there. A cheap handle looks.... cheap. I was going to get that billet Ford Trucks one myself but it didn't go with my interior. I got one and painted it to match my interior.

i'm fairly sure that the fx4 level II knobs are thread on... there's a nut at the bottom of them for sure, but i haven't taken mine off in the past

the arm is also chrome, and shaped slightly different than the stock ones

Go to the junk yard and pick up a random knob that you like. I picked one out of a Fiero and i love it.

I want a Mahogany shifter due to the front of my dash being that way.
Would that shifter I linked work? Considering it doesnt say anything?

If it ain't broke...fix it before it does.
