Default New Shift Knob

I have the Axalflow SS installed and my spoon ti shift knob would rattle and make noise like crazy. The hollow light weight knob was the culprit. Well I ordered a knob from TWMPerformance. I'll tell you this knob is BAD ASS. It nice and heavy (440g) and is really counter sunk.




Sick

I'm giving it 5 Thomas's

I'll have to check that out next time I see you, Kev. Looks good!

I like the Ti knob I got as a Honda option. But that TWM knob looks great!

Nice. Shift knob might be the only thing in a car that should not be light. Having that weight really helps shifting effort and better feel. I've always thought those carbon fiber shift knobs and alike are retarded and counter-productive.

My car so so much less noisy with this knob.

Ben - The heavier weight does make the shift more smooth. But it takes away a lot of the feel. By that I mean with the Spoon Ti knob I could feel (and hear) the syncros and tell if I was in the right gear or not. That's the only negative I can think of.

Chaz - They have it in a few different styles too. I like the OEM style the best. They even have 24k Gold plated one .

Any one looking for a used Spoon Ti Knob. They go for $135 new with out shipping (~$150). For NE member I'll sell it for $60 shipping included. In a few weeks I'm gonna sell it for $85 in the FS forum. That's the normal going price used. It's in good shape only one scratch. On my car that was on the console side so you couldn't see it. From a ring...

If you have a short shifter do not get this knob! The buzzing will drive you crazy.

Matt- You have PM

No buzz with the stock shifter. It's a problem with the Axial Flow Short Shifter kits.
