Need a new shift knob but not sure what to get

dmhenderson · 12-26-2012, 10:47 AM

Currently have the Nismo titanium/carbon shifter but after 3 years of use, the top is worn and scuffed.

Was thinking about going with the momo airleather knob:
Nissan 370Z MOMO Race Shift Knobs

Any experience with momo shifters? Any other suggestions?

love my forged shift knob!

I had the nismo chrome knob before the titanium and it gets extremely hot in the summer. Don't think I'll go that route again although I'll check out the other forged products to see what's out there.

Proper+ Shop — Shift Knobs

Uber flamboyant should suit you well :P

dmhenderson · 12-26-2012, 08:07 PM

The nismo leather one looks nice. Also a third of the price of some of the others.

dmhenderson · 12-26-2012, 08:08 PM

Some of the other ones are a little too uh..."sparkly" for me.
Edit: Can't buy it on principle. Description reads, "Nismo Leather Shiftknob, buy it and become a BAD A$$ instantly"

~BAD A$$~

lol

Tommy Kaira Hebi Bebi Shift Knob Universal

Holy hell

birdmanx1 · 12-26-2012, 09:02 PM

The Tommy Kaira Hebi Bebi shift knob is the best money you could spend on any shift knob. The difference with the stock is night & day. I haven't missed any gear since; moreover, it sits lower so it kinda acts a short throw shifter.

eastwest2300 · 12-26-2012, 09:06 PM

That Tommy K is very very pricey, its very clean too.

Hebi bebi is ridiculous.

Smother shifts, it feels shorter cause its lower, the weight makes a difference

dmhenderson · 12-26-2012, 09:25 PM

Ok well I can buy one for a mere $279.99. I'll shop around a bit I guess.
I'd have to wait a few weeks to do that and never ever tell my girlfriend how much it cost*

*ever
