What are some good shift knobs.....

[808audi]

that don't screw in with 3 allen screws like momos. I hate having to tighten them every 2 days. I want something that will stay on and feel solid. If you have pics that would be great too. Thanks.

Try checking the revies section.

I have used both the Nismo delrin knob and the Nismo GT rubebr knob. Both of them are great (although the rubber GT stays a little bit cooler during the summer).

MOMO sucks! i have one i hate it. use a potato

[Heartwork]

whatever one feels great in your hand....

here's a solution to the Momo ones....since the screws gets looses with everyday driving, just get some masking tape and wrap it around the actual metal shift lever so when you put the shift knob over teh lever the screw will stay intact with the masking tape and stick to it...

After reading that, I realized Phase 2 people have never seen a dildo.

I have the Greddy chrome ball counterweight knob. Weighs half as much as an aluminum baseball bat:hammer:

[DoriftoSlut]

I have the white Nismo ball aka dildo shift knob. Its sweet. Soon I will also have the JDM-est shift knob of all! The big clear bubble..."thing". Woohoo! JDM TYTE seal of approval!

[pinoydrifter]

I have a momo.... it's ok... I just used a little locktite and it doesn't loosen anymore!

But... at the dd6 event I saw the signal shift nob.... I loved it! You should check it out on the signal website. I don't like thier ball shift nob though. -Cheers

Yeah, it's really more like a buttplug. :ghey:

[NiteKids]

I have Nismo GT Titanium. It's pretty nice. Expensive though.

I have a Voodoo shift knob.. It's market for Miata's but it screws right on the 240 shifter. I think it's the perfect knob, fits just right in your hand.

I just picked up a Nismo gelaco knob from my nissan dealer. I dig it, it's so tiny. I also like the shape of the B&M knob because no matter which way I grab it it's comfortable. But aluminum shift knobs arent wise for the summer. I'm tired of getting branded from a hot *** metal shift knob!

I don't think buttplugs are just reserved for gays, my ex-GF like it when... I think that would be too much information.

Anyways, it resembles a buttplug not a dildo.

Hey nitekids how "hefty" is that shift knob? Is the nut on the top of the shift knob noticable at all when you grip it? How does it handle in the extreme temps ie hot sun, freezing cold? Personally I've been ogling the gt pro model rubber for a few days now, I figure it will be less temperature sensitive.

I have a nice leather shift knob that might be from a 95-99 Maxima(thats my best guess so far) its much broader than the stock knob and fits perfectly in my palm for shifting away from me, and a nice lip on the front for pulling it back. I have fairly big hands, so this is much better than the stock knob, plus it was only 15 bucks with a shift boot from a junkyard.

^ I suck at taking pics

Edit: Oh yeah, its Nissan, so it just screws right in!

All I know is, get something that is comfortable and doesnt burn your hand on a hot day. Comfort is Key!!

it seems the concensus is "ball" like shift knobs are best. i'm trying to get a nismo "dildo" shift knob. how big is the nismo shift knob compared to the voodoo? also, does the voodoo get really hot during summer?

dorifto, if you're gonna sell your shift knob, i'd be interested :D

[kandyflip445]

Just a question, Nitekids why did you get the titanium one? Isn't the knob weighted anyways????:confused:

[SilviaSR20DET]

I have the Trust diamond shaped shiftknob, its very nice looking and easy to shift with but the only downside is that its not heavy as i expected.

[mistert]

im ordering a pearl magnum voodoo sphere shifter as soon as i get back from my trip to TN. thanks sph33r, thats exactly what i've been looking for

[thx247]

hm, the stock knob works fine for me. Never slipped even once. I have a shifter as well, maybe thats why its not an issue.

[91CRXsiR]

i would go w/ the Type R shift know feels good like an egg... and its cheap $30.00 dont know if it would fit a nissan though.

Unfortunately, like most metal knobs it does.. I had the Greddy knob before this one and it seems the polished design sucked up more heat.. but that could have been just mt imagination.

[AJs14]

I have the Nismo GT rubber knob. It's simple and neat. It screws on.

damn that sucks. i was hoping it wouldn't. does anyone know how big the nismo "dildo" shift knob is? i'm wondering if it's comparable to the voodoo one.

[azn_romeox]

Get a Trust Heavy weight shift knob. It feels great.

[s13silady]

i have the Toyota Matrix shift knob in my car... lol.. it feels great i love it... but it gets annoying when everyone ask if your car is a six speed...:o

[DuffMan]

I can never understand why anyone would want a metal shift knob.

[YellwMonky]

i have the momo shadow and I love it. I have a missing screw in mine and it still doesn't come undone. I guess you guys are just wussys. ;) WUSSYS!

they're generally heavier in a smaller package i want something round and small like the voodoo but HEAVIER than it anyone got any suggestions?

[Warwick5s]

do 300zx knobs screw on?

if money's not an issue (or you can find a good deal) you could always get a bmw M series shift knob. my friend has one in his gsx and it's awesome. it's heavy and perfectly weighed and fits really well in your hand. it's just a little bit expensive, hehe.

[West]

MOMO Sux.

Greddy is a awesome price, its metal but you would be amazed how quickly it cools down once you touch it. Plus its actually weighted like everyone says, helps in your shifts. Cant beat it for $35

I like Nismo ones but they are overpriced. Its just a goddamn shift knob, might as well buy something stupid like glow gauges.

I might get a Nismo GT but I don't think its weighted from what I was told so I will only get one if I find one for $40. Its damn sexy and made of urethane.

[bob marley]

I too like the Nismo GT shift knob. Anyone have pics of it installed in a car?

Johann

[mad s13]

one word..RAZO

i've got one of the 340g series knobs that weighs a ton. The one I got is a metal ball, it does burn on hot days, but its freaking awesome how it helps make quick gear changes easier...they also make a leather wrapped one, I think i'll get that one next.


Momo knobs are for honda guys..I hated the one I had at first..slipped off one too many times when shifting..

[mixedwell]

yeah i have a vielside shift knob... those things are bad *** but i think GREDDY/Trust copied them big time. anyways yeah the Veilside rocks but i got it used so its like not so shiny anymore but that means it dont suck up heat and yeah it ROCKS. ask non fujita, he likes it too! holla

-mixedwell ;)


ps- plus its JDM TYTE YO!

"hey it's JDM! look the box says so"

-some random idiots looking in eBay.

[DRFT]

Someday i will have a GReddy knob when i get my tranny swap/SR swap!!! I will rule the earth too!!!muhwahaha....yea im bored...:rolleyes:

i agree that nismo shift knobs are overpriced. if they were $50 it'd be more reasonable, but hey, you pay for the name. nike shoes are overpriced too. it's all for the brand name.

i thought the nismo gt really were weighed. well that's what jspec says at least. and they're pretty trustworthy, right? hehe
