Shift knobs

StanceZ37 · 10-05-2014, 06:27 PM

Hello everyone, not sure if this is the right section of the forum for this but my question i have for all of you is What do you guys reccomend for a shift knob?

I am not a big fan of the oem shift knob.

My budget is $150.

I was looking at the Flossy knobs, what do you think?

My interests
-round shape (dont know how i would feel about a stick shape knob)
-heavier than stock for smooth shifting feel
-made with quality material
-texturised
-something that would look good beside the 40th red interior

If you have any knobs for sale let me know aswell

I'd highly recommend TWM Performance. Had their shift knob in all my cars and it's purely amazing. Makes every shift orgasmic :P

In my Mazda3; their graphite finish Type R shift knob. Loved it.

I have an extra twm piston knob if you're interested, bought one for my buddy when he got his z but he had sold his car a few months later.

im looking more for a ball shape knob and it has to be on the heavy side.. i do like twms knobs, i have been looking at them for awhile until i seen the flossy knobs. What do you guys think about the flossy knobs?

look up WC Lathe Werks. i love my stainless steel ball. it actually doesnt even get that hot. my previous aluminum knob was scorching hot after sitting outside for a bit. the steel one surprisingly doesnt get too hot too touch. you can customize it however you want too

There are a few types of flossy knobs, which one are you looking into? pics? weight is important to keep in mind, a heavier knob will makes for smoother and better shifts. Texture and design is different to the twm, and I don't think the flossy knobs are on the same level with twm quality wise, hence the huge price gap. Just sharing my opinion, go with which ever knob makes you most happy
