New A/T shift knob installed

NXTAZEE · 06-09-2012, 09:06 AM

I just got the new shift knob installed yesterday. Man, what an improvement over the OEM in looks and feel. Very happy. I have a Nifty Shifty boot coming soon as well.

Looks very nice, is this the UAM brushed aluminium?

Exactly what I was thinking, was taking a nice clean clear photo that hard. Thanks NXTAZEE.

Oh this looks nice!

How hard was the install and does the pushing down to move motion feel natural enough? Is it really light pressure to push down?

Very NICE

sexZness · 06-09-2012, 02:20 PM

Ooo~ nice!

I may do this in the near future!

Do they have any other finishes/colors?

NXTAZEE · 06-09-2012, 04:40 PM

Yeah, I thought I would post up some decent photos so people will have a good idea of the quality of this product. It's "really" nice work. The install was very easy. Took about three minutes to remove the OEM knob and install the UAM. I had to adjust it up about an 1/8 of an inch after I had it installed, as it would not shift smoothly. This is because it can not sit too low on the trigger, which has to be fully released when the knob is not pressed down. Pushing down to move the stick feels quite natural. There is enough resistance in the spring to make it feel solid, but also not too stiff. In time I'm sure it will become slightly softer, but that will be fine. You can rest your hand on top of the knob and it does not move at all. The finishes for Aluminum include brushed, polished and a black finish. There is also Titanium finished in a brushed, polished and a burnt finish. Over all I would rate this product a 10 out of 10. It's actually a little more fun to drive with this knob over the OEM.
