shift knobs

[RICH0087]

Anyone have a suggestion for a good one? I dont really like how huge the stock one is... I've been looking at a Greddy weighted one but I can only find them in chrome, and i was kinda wanting to go with black to match the interior. Any suggestions? Pictures would be appreciated.

Skunk2 is nice. Its weighted perfectly and they have them in a dark satin finish.

Do you really need a weighted shifter? I find that the trans shifts gears rather easily.

i got the trd ball one....its the same one i had on my celica and I liked the feel of it so I ordered one and it should be here tomorrow

[ac3 b00gi3]

I have a MOMO... love it... Gets a lil cold in the mornings, but I love the feel of the "ball" style knobs

I have the TRD short shifter on and like it fine.

my Megan shifts SO smooth

[RICH0087]

yeah i just wish the shifter wasn't so tall, it looks weird

[ac3 b00gi3]

yup .. i drove my friends 07 tC and his shifter is still stock .. it felt so weird .. he likes it like that and i ask why ?? .. get a short throw bro lol lol

I am working on a shift mod that I will post later, if it works!

[RICH0087]

i didnt think the short shifter lowered the shifter...i thought it just reduced the throws

[ac3 b00gi3]

You can just cut it down... Really simple I did it with a hack saw it took about 5 minutes to cut through it then rethreaded the stick with a threading bolt and put a new shift knob on.

That works for cosmetics only... the short throw shifter DOES shorten the throw, just cutting it... doesn't... cut it... just makes it look nicer.


There's a shifter I want that I found on Ebay... MonsterKnobs... its made of some sort of resin... its the size of a pool ball and only comes in black(an 8 ball without the white 8 on it)... its got brass/copper threads inserted so it threads right on...

Never gets hot... Never gets cold... I like it cuz its nice and easy to look at... not flashy or obnoxious with LED's and Carbon Fiber or Aluminum. I'm picking one up soon.

does anyone know what the thread pitch is on the shifter?

[navylife59]

Just checked, 1.25 pitch. I think the bolt size maybe M14???? .468 is the overall bolt diameter.

I am considering the Skunk2 but it doesnt say if its threaded to fit on the stock shifter? Could you tell me if it is. How does it look with the silver ring thats on the boot? Is that ring quite a bit larger than the lower diameter of the shift knob?
