Opinions on Shifter Knobs
anybody got suggestions for Shifter Knobs other than the Kartboy? I was hoping to spend less than $50.

ive got the legacy gt in my 02. i really like it alot plus it looks sharp with my sti shifter trim. i got mine on the FS boards on here for 40 some dollars. previously i had the blue and silver momo raptor? and when i made the switch it definitely felt better to me.

Prodrive chrome shifter.

Isn't this a personal preference thing?

I like my factory knob..

I prefer my Kartboy Knob.
Second though would probably have to go to the STI Peter Solberg Edition.

The OEM leather knob on my WRX is one of the best ever.
JBravo920 12-16-2006 11:19 AM

Just get a bunch of different ones, that way you can change it up whenever you want. I have the stock knob, legacy GT knob, knuckleboy, and a momo knob all in my car, that way when I feel like using a different shift knob, I can just take one off and thread a new one on!

i like mine the best out of any Ive tried

Less than $50?
G3Red04WRX 12-16-2006 01:18 PM

Agreed on the WC shift knobs. If your on a budget im sure he can work with you, but less than 50 is tough to do for a quality shift knob made specifically for the Subaru and with a boot lip.

Just whatever you do, please dont buy any no-name garbare off ebay to save money, you will kick yourself for it later, and then go spend another 50-100 bucks for a good shift knob. Youll thank me later for the advice now.

I got my Kartboy fomr someone here for $20. Local nasioc classifieds FTW.
The Kartboy is nice, it doesn't look big, and fits in your hand perfectly.

anyone know who makes the heaviest knob?
keaniegenie 12-16-2006 03:13 PM

I don't know about heaviest, but I know the Prodrive ones are designed to be perfectly counter-balanced for our gearboxes.

To me, the perfect shift know has yet to be made. I like ball-style knobs, but I also like them Leather for looks and so they don't get too hot/cold.

A Prodrive perforated leather shift knob just like their aluminum ones would be perfect :)

I love my TierOne shift knob weighing in at 2lbs:banana:

jpbpro 12-16-2006 03:56 PM

steverx05 12-16-2006 04:03 PM

I have a TWM shift knob....it's like 454 grams or something...close to a pound. It feels real nice with my KB short shifter and bushings :)

I don't see the facination with metal shift knobs. They're scalding hot in summer, and freezing cold in the winter.
