best shift knob

Joebarchuck · 06-29-2011, 11:19 PM

The stock one is actually pretty good looking.

Anyone regret changing their shift knob? What kind do you have?

JollyGoodChap · 07-01-2011, 11:22 AM

I like the stock but if I ever were to replace it, it'd be this one by razo. It sits low and slightly offset The weight is nice at about 1lb.

no regrets here, im using the nismo titanium knob.

if i feel like changing it again i will check out the offerings from TWM. they got some really nice knobs over there.

I will certainly second the motion by SPOHN on the Forged Performance shift knob. No markings on it, so clean and also weighted nicely. I just received mine, so Forged is still selling them.

I've bought a few Momo shift knobs. They're the universal fit kind. I had the F-16 evo model and really liked it... the "leather" eventually rubbed off after like 80k miles and I had to change it out. Never found one that I liked as much.

The Tommy Kaira one looks awesome but damn... like over 200 bucks for a shift knob...

Anyone know the weight of the Nismo aluminium knobs??

I don't know if anyone's posted this one yet, but I have the TWM Leopard A6 in Gunmetal, and I like it.

Guys, I like the shift knobs I've seen but I have a question, how scratch resistant are theses knobs? My Z is my daily. I want a nice looking,feeling shift knob but I don't want it to get marred up easy either.

If this is a concern, you should check out TWM Performance. This video may help you make a decision.

I had this on my G, and was debating installing it on my new ride. I'm not quite ready to take the stock Z nob off yet, think it's pretty decent... How was the fitment with that finisher?
