I'm looking for a shift knob to match my 40th's red interior

NickBaragona · 09-01-2011, 03:22 PM

It could be a mixture of red and black or just straight red. I like TWM, but they don't seem to make a knob in this color. Thoughts?

I personally had a TWM and its an amazing shift knob for the price! Great feel and amazing look.... The TWM stainless or Satin knob would somewhat compliment the 40ths exterior... Not match it but look good with it

Or Go with the Tommy Kaira shift knob which has the red turtle on the top and is a gunmetalish color...

What about the MOMO Combat Evo shift knob?

I had that in my Supra before the Z and i liked that one too, a bit too light, but still nice.

if i wanted the TWM red, i would buy watever color and send it off to Mike who can powder coat them.

I just got the gunmetal TWM desert eagle knob in the mail last night. Put it on, and makes my Nismo feel like garbage. Best shift knob I've ever owned. Shifts like a dream at 600 grams.

I got it in gunmetal. Fits the 40th perfectly.

Do you have a picture of it in your 40th? No doubt it would match the exterior, but I either wanted red or black for my interior.

LOVE MY PASSWORD: JDM Red shifter

Gets a bit hot if the sun is beating down on it for hours. but i havn't had a problem grabbing it to shift real quick yet. and once it cools down a hair, then all is good. A problem with all metal shift knobs

Password:JDM Balance Shift Knob

Great choices would be the Nismo Titanium Knob, Password JDM Knob,
MOMO Combat Knob (the one you posted), and the MOMO Quark Shift Knob.

For the MOMO Combat Knob, the best steering wheel that would match that
would be the Nardi Sport Rally 350mm / Black Suede w/ Red Stitch

Is it lighter than even the stock shift knob? I have no idea what the weight of that is.

The stock shift knob is pretty heavy (in my opinion and experience with other cars). You'll find out when you get yours off. a bit of forum searches might get you the stock knobs' weight and will also give you some good advice on how to get your stock shifter off without ruining it. A lot of people have had a very hard time, mine came off pretty easy tho.

The MOMO one mentioned before was very light weight if i remember correctly.

The PWD:JDM knob is heavier then the MOMO, but still lighter then the stock.

My personal taste.... is that i like the PWD:JDMs' weight. The shifting feels a bit more knotchy (SP?)... and i like that, i feel better shifting now.

But im sure most of this is true for other knobs as well. It's mostly a matter of taste on shift knob shape and looks.
