![]() Even though this knob sits 85mm tall, the threaded portion is recessed into the knob, only increasing the height of your lever by about 50mm. Made out of billet aluminum, these Touge Style shift knobs are fairly lightweight and easy to grip as well.Įach knob measures at 28mm in diameter to easily fit your hand for positive control. The classic baton shape of this PRO Design Touge Style Shift Knob gives you excellent shift leverage and positive shift feel. Please see the bottom of this description for more details. The included thread sizes are 10x1.5mm, 10x1.25mm, and 12x1.25mm. The smooth texture left a little to be desired, so i added a silicone grip around it, but other than that, it's the same shift knob i've been running for almost 3 years now.These shift knobs all include 3 adapters for different thread sizes to fit a wide variety of vehicles. They used to have an option for 12x1.25 thread, with the reverse lockout drilling, which resulted in a lower profile shift knob than even the stock knob. i went with an acrylic twistedshifterz ball. So for the last shifter, i went as low profile as i possibly could. i found my arm floating more than using my arm rest between shifts, which resulted in a sore shoulder. I was generally happy with the knob, but found that the setup was way too tall for my preference. That required an adapter to fill the space between it and reverse lockout so i could still lift the lockout, and it didn't look ugly it was identical to the oem shift knob, just with a different top plate.Ģnd was carbon fiber style similar to this, but internally threaded. It worked fine, but i found the alumimum plate too hot/cold on top. My primary goal was a shift knob that wasn't so temperamentally cold/hot based on transmission or sunlight temperature. Whats the pros on having a heavier gear knob ?Īnd you also said stock is cheap -i would like to get a new stock one but they are very pricey from what ive found.Īnd also after few months they start to make some crazy rattle noises ''for the weight'' by that you mean for heavier or lighter weight? For example IRP shifter or CAE Ultra shifter. but if i'd need pros of long knob, i'd probably think of shifter kits (much more expensive though), that will not just relocate higher/closer to wheel, but also will make shifts shorter and more precise. I'd probably choose stock, which isn't really that bad and costs nothing, or short aftermarket for looks & weight. When choosing one, i suggest to get "hybrid" ones, with metallic core for weight & plastic surround, to not burn or freeze hand in hot summer/cold winter, if not wearing gloves. Imho most install such only for two reasons - better look & heavier weight. ![]() Long knob - cheapest option to relocate closer to steering wheel for sporty driving with shorter/quicker movement from steering wheel to shifter, but with cons above. Also not so much right at the reach for those that like resting elbow on (if installed) center console armrest, when dd cruising. ![]() Lever closer to steering wheel, easier to reach when enthusiastically driving, but also in way of AC & audio controls. ![]() Due longer lever, both con of longer throws, and pro of easier to put into gear (long lever=more force). Tall gear knob - harder to reach for reverse lever. ![]()
