shift knobs - plz post pics and comments
 

I am looking to get a different shift knob to replace the stock one. I am not sure what type/color/weight to get. I have looked through tons of posts and it is very time consuming. I figured if people post a pic of their shift knob and comments about it, that it would end up being a great resource for everyone! And just like the window tint thread, if you were looking to get a new shift knob you would only have to look in one place. :tup:

i still think the stock knob is the way to go. unless torn up or worn out i'd leave it.

:iagree: once you open the boot and relace the knob you might have some problems, not saying you would. Nismo knobs are nice though.

heres mine:tup:

password:jdm balanced shift knob. while the knob is great, its slightly lighter than the stock shift knob..wished it was heavier, but it looks great, and matches my interior perfectly. just a warning though, the stock shift knob is a complete pain to remove. its damn near impossible to remove without damaging it

Here is my Password: JDM knob. I just posted a DIY on how to fix the rattle here:

Thanks alot for the replies so far guys!!!:tiphat:


Well, I actually did tear up the stock knob. I removed it the other day, b/c I had a titanium shift knob from my STi and was wondering if it fit or not. Obviously it didn't. This is why I am looking to get a new shift knob now.

I knew this going into it. I figured I would just fit a nice aftermarket knob, but am still deciding which one to go with. That is why I started this thread. Also, in the future I do plan on installing a short throw shifter, so sooner or later it was destined to be removed.

I really like the knob, Ken. I'm not a fan of the large stock knob. I change the position of my hand depending on what gear I'm headed to, upshifting, downshifting, etc.

I actually found it fairly easy to remove the stock knob (well, maybe not easy but I got it off with no damage and no potty mouth words :icon17:). Just use channel locks to hold the shaft, and wrap the knob in another towel or rubber, and use a big plumbers monkey wrench to the threads broken.:tup:

If I change to any it will be the G37 Knob

I feel like it matches the interior just as well as ours with a little more silver... I ordered the black chrome nismo knob and decided against installing it when I got it... Theres another knob thats almost 200 dollars tommy something that I felt and it was awesome but 200 for a knob when ours is fine is a bit steep.

And for the Automatic guys I dont understand why they didnt do what they did on the g37 automatics and put a leather boot below the knob.. I feel like the knob sticks out like a sore thumb

If anybody wants to buy my stock knob, send me a PM.
I paid the dealer to take it off and they took it off w/o damaging it.
Any takers? Christmas is right around the corner??

I have been thinking I would like to change my shift knob, and it sounds like I probably won't have a choice when I put in a short throw shifter. But I haven't found anything I like, what is the thread pitch we need?

I did find these that seem pretty nice,

Obviously it is not for our cars though, has anybody seen on like this that would fit properly?
