Shift knobs

StanceZ37 · 10-05-2014, 06:27 PM

Hello everyone, not sure if this is the right section of the forum for this but my question i have for all of you is What do you guys reccomend for a shift knob?

I am not a big fan of the oem shift knob.

My budget is $150.

I was looking at the Flossy knobs, what do you think?

My interests
-round shape (dont know how i would feel about a stick shape knob)
-heavier than stock for smooth shifting feel
-made with quality material
-texturised
-something that would look good beside the 40th red interior

If you have any knobs for sale let me know aswell

I'd highly recommend TWM Performance. Had their shift knob in all my cars and it's purely amazing. Makes every shift orgasmic :P

In my Mazda3; their graphite finish Type R shift knob. Loved it.

I have an extra twm piston knob if you're interested, bought one for my buddy when he got his z but he had sold his car a few months later.

im looking more for a ball shape knob and it has to be on the heavy side.. i do like twms knobs, i have been looking at them for awhile until i seen the flossy knobs. What do you guys think about the flossy knobs?

There are a few types of flossy knobs, which one are you looking into? pics? weight is important to keep in mind, a heavier knob will makes for smoother and better shifts. Texture and design is different to the twm, and I don't think the flossy knobs are on the same level with twm quality wise, hence the huge price gap. Just sharing my opinion, go with which ever knob makes you most happy

This is the one i was looking at. flossy shop — RedHead Heavy-Weight

i would also like for the knob to have some kind of texture on it were as my hand wont slip off of it like the oem knob.

i wish i could try some knobs out but yea, that wont happen.. how much are you asking for the piston?

The flossy knob is heavier than twm piston, 545 grams vs. 525 gr. IIRC, who would have thought of that! another pro to the flossy is that it's coated in resin which will keep the knob cool in the Summer. If your eyes are already set on the flossy, I'd say go for your first thought.

As for the piston, i'd like $100+5 for shipping. So same price for a new flossy. It's still fairly new, my buddy only used it for a couple months maybe less before he sold his car.
