Whats your shift knob? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Honduh · 08-22-2006, 07:23 PM

So im in the market for a shift knob since I recently got a short throw for the teg.

In previous cars I had a skunk2 knob and shifter.

Well now I have a fidanza shifter, just came in the mail today, but I refuse to pay 50 for a knob. I'm looking for something around a 1lb in weight or 440 grams, same as sk2. I've seen blox knobs, like 10 bucks cheaper than sk2 and from what I heard weigh 1.1 pounds which is acutally heavier than the skunk2 knob.

What about those ebay "type R" shifters? They look nice, but how do they feel? Anyone have any experience?

Ive been having trouble finding a knob that I like more than the stock knob in the RS (same as OEM WRX knobs I believe). It just fits so well and the weight is nice. I want to find a knob like the STi titanium shift knob but it's expensive as hell for the real one

I have a Greddy Counterweight that I love.

I had one of these and enjoyed it, but went back to the stock look. I took a hacksaw to my stock knob when i installed the short throw.
