Gear Knob-Joke Upgrade
Hi
Possibly a silly question, but does anyone have any suggestions for a replacement gear stick knob. I'm not sure I much like the default one.
Cheers.

Re: Gear Knob Upgrade
Make sure whichever one you choose is at least as heavy as the original, as the weight makes a huge difference to the action.
Cheap lightweight knobs make for a nasty gearchange

Re: Gear Knob Upgrade
This seems very much like another “show us your knob” thread that I will gladly participate in.
I have this one
https://www.rhdjapan.com/feed-heavy-wei ... -fc3s.html
I did not pay that for it though!
It is heavy and has a lovely feel in the hand.
Here is a bad picture of it in my car with an additional very long shaft.

Re: Gear Knob Upgrade
I've just bought an aluminium one from eBay, nice weight to it. Just gets really cold (and I expect really hot in the summer!)
Edit: just realised its the same as this one:

Re: Gear Knob Upgrade
Damn now I'm disappointed I didn't ask if anyone could give me a helping hand with my knob
Not that I'm looking for a bigger one, obviously.

Ran out of knob jokes I guess.
I was expecting fewer knobs and more ebay links
