Shifter Knobs

[Abilor]

So I'm going to get a TWZ SS soon, and I want an aftermarket knob. I don't really like what TWZ has, and I'm thinking of going with one or the other of these:

I need one that sits well in our cars, doesn't look like a weird penis, and is heavy, preferably 13 - 16 oz. or heavier. ANY recommends of knobs you love are welcome.

I never liked the shaft style shift knobs. they just didnt fit right in my hand. the rounder ball shaped ones or something with a thicker head always felt better.



thats what she said? =)

I will add these to the list, thanks. That said, I've been made aware of two issues. One, despite the good advice not to, I do tend to rest my hand on my shifter as I drive. So a larger "platform" (big round knob for my big hand) probably would be good. My fellow louisiana native has also reminded me that a metal knob will get HOT in the sun, so I might want to think about leather. I will still be looking. The thing that sucks about shopping for these is you can't see how they really feel, and only go on look. Anyway, now I'm leaning towards a Momo leather ball type. I don't like those ones that look like walking sticks for some reason. I want an OEM, but luxury look that feels good and won't brand me in July.

I'm leaning towards a round momo knob, maybe the nero. Does anyway know if those are weighted, and how much? The heavier the better...

does this mean you wanna have a beer with me sometime.. cause im down man. (nana)

[Abilor]

I'm still thinking in the sparco, I just wish I could have access to the damn dimensions! Is it 2" or 4" tall?

[mattj3636]

looks 2.. im sure its not 4 inches seeing as that would be bigger than your fist, well mine at least

[RC08MS3]

are the three on your top list universal? im looking for ideas too but i hate univerals, i need a thread on, i always send up pullin the damn knob off in the middle of a run

[Abilor]

They are, they don't thread. Which is why, at the end of the day, I may go with TWM's desert eagle in Gunblue. It will match my interior, it threads on their SS, and its heavy as hell, 1lb+. It will get hot in summer, but that's the only downside. And I think it looks good, all that matters.

I have a practically new desert eagle in satin.
Looking to let it go ~80 shipped.
Let me know if interested and I will post pics.

Well the closest I come to your area is my girlfriends daughters place in southern IL but I'm down with a few brews for sure lol. Offer stands if you ever hit the east coast to.

[mattj3636]

I'm thinking about going with the Sparco Globe X with perf leather. I had one on my last car and loved it.

Although the sparcos look nice. but theyre very light. Lighter than the stock knob. In fact I was shopping for one and took my stock MS3 knob in as a reference. I was told RAZO has some weighted knobs. The MOMO knobs did not feel very heavy either.

What about voodoo knobs? I just bought a piano black one for my Miata. It feels great and has a nice weight to it.

[Boostin McFly]

how much does our stock shifter weight?

[boosted3]

On Thursday I was in my buddy's speed shop that's been in business since the early 80's. He has some seriously retro stuff in the back of the store that collects dust. I found this-
It matches perfectly, but for some reason it appears to be darker black than the boot.. it's not. It's a RAZO from the early 90's.It's just a ball(cool)

I like this, is it heavier than the stock ms3 knob? Did you see the knob on dabears2k's site? They dont have it yet but its heavy..

[Hypnotized]

Oh, is that knob threaded for the ms3 or do you have to use set screws?
