WC Lathe Werks Shift knob

mic_crispy · 04-25-2012, 11:01 PM

Got my new shift knob in the mail today!
Im not a fan of the nismo style, and wanted something pretty much exactly like the old T1r knob i had in my s2k... Didnt find much until I came across WC Lathe Werks and had this made (he makes them to order, which is very cool imo).

On-top of the color, you can even customize the collar. I didn't like the attached, silver option.. so he made a separate black one that i could take off if i please.

Sorry for the "dry" looking pictures, my cell phone camera is so so..

Great quality. Same as the T1r and Spoon shift knobs that i've owned in the past. Its very heavy too, which makes the tranny feel a-bit smoother, and sits about half a inch lower than stock, which shortens the throws, and has consequentially made my shifting faster / smoother.

For the curious:

Mindif I ask how much damage? And add to cart button?

Add to cart?

Mine was $160 shipped (got the extra color and custom collar work).
Quality burns too.. very symmetrical and even.

Nope. I think because the AT has that button.
