Honestly I don't know the actual weight. I'm sure you could ask Chris on the different weights and he'd be able to tell you.

site says "270 grams weight for a solid feel"

for reference:

tommy kaira knob - 510 grams
password jdm balanced shift knob - 170 grams
stock knob - ??? its about 2x heavier than the password jdm one

i like the look of this knob. if it was as heavy as the tommy kaira id be in for one!

The stainless steel piston knob is for you then. Weighs 526 grams and is the cheapest option l. Looks pretty awesome with the textured finish or the leather wrap.

Wow... I love that. Thanks for the review. I've been struggling to find a shift knob with everything I want. Proper fit, not too hot/cold, shift pattern engraved, and knurled grip. I really like the look of that. Really like the hybrid one too. Your pictures really helped. Thanks for the post.

SterlingDrive · 02-16-2014, 10:06 AM

Phantom, you inspired me, just bought the same knob with your options (knurled, shift pattern) but in the original stainless steel. Wanted the color, and am thinking I will like the additional weight.

I will post a picture when it is installed in a week or so.

Hah, happy to help

Definitely post up the pics so everyone can see how it looks. I'm glad to see so many people catching on to the awesomeness of these knobs

Chris does great work and I'm sure you'll like it.

Can someone please post a picture grabbing this knob? 1.5 inch in diameter seems a little bit too small (what she said lol)
