Looking for shift knob suggestions

BlackZMamba · 08-29-2017, 05:30 PM

Hey guys,

Can you provide me with some aftermarket shift knob suggestions? Pictures or links would help.

How hard is the stock knob to remove?

Thanks in advance.

could be very tough. i wrapped mine with a lot of duct tape and i mean a lot. then took a oil filter wrench to it. not the open end pliers type but the one that is like a strap wrench. tough but it came off without destroying it.

Generally speaking, I feel like a lower knob goes a long way in general. With this car's clunky-feeling synchros and wonky clutch pedal feel, gate feed is one of those things that can be given less thought.

I had the PW JDM stainless knob. Weight was nice, but I was holding the bottom more often over time just to ensure I was entering the correct gear in a more timely manner.

Now using the Nismo GT Ti. Lighter, and really don't care for the adjustment feature. Shape and height are what I like, though, on top of the whole "JDMxOEM yo" thing. Major dislike is that it's technically hollow, so sometimes it doesn't feel good with this car's truck-like shift feel.

The carbon fiber Nismo shifter knob looks very nice.

I have a one-off brass shift knob that my brother made for his car group that also fits the Z's. Other than being painful when its hot outside, a brass knob makes shifting super crisp and easy. (Assuming you have decent fluid)

I prefer it way more than the stock shift knob(straight trash) or an aluminum shift knob.

Just my 2 cents

That's why I keep a black microfiber cloth in the car to cover the shift knob in the summer
