What shift knob do you have in your car? Do you love it/hate

>>15479142
I am thinking about getting a Team Voodoo knob but I don't know if I'm crazy about the ball style. Help.

>changing a shift knob
r u redneck ricer m8?

I got a boomba weighted knob for my FiST, feels much better than the stock one, and the extra weight makes shifting more smooth.

Big Type R knob, awesome weight for awesome shifts. Unfortunately gets hot as fuck during the summer.

At leas you know it's made from real metal and not cheap chrome plastic

>>15480854
This is true.

Standard OEM. I don't love or hate it. I can't really recommend it to other anons because the pattern is incredibly unique. I don't know of a single other model with the same pattern.

hold the phone, what car?

2013 Porsche 911

Don't get too excited, 7th is just for fuel economy/maximum comfy. Top speed is reached in 6th.

New Corvette also has a 7 speed manual, but a very different shift pattern.

Not him but that's always swayed me against buying a 911/C7 when I scrap the cash together, that seems like it's get obnoxious fast.

>>15480812
cover the shift knob with a sock when it's hot out.

>>15481049

It's not bad, I just skip 6th if I'm cruising. Porsche puts a lockout for 7th from everything but 5th and 6th, so I assume I'm doing no damage to the transmission by doing so. With that its just a regular old 6 speed.

Eh, I drive both a 5MT and 6MT and prefer the former. I don't even know why 5th exists in the latter besides not having to drop down two gears to pass on highways.

I have an OEM M5 shift knob in my E39, the knob is from a newer generation though. Previous owner put it in. I like leather though, and I like that its newer since the knobs of the E39 generation are usually really worn.

mine is a piece of shit that is loose and fucking rattles because the previous owner is a piece of shit.

Go ahead and crucify me /o/ but I fucking love this thing. TWM Performance 7in Competition Knob, thing feels so damn good and shifting is so, so easy. It's insane but it's comfy and fun as fuck.

>>15481337
Ahh dammit man you caught me. Knew I couldn't fool you guys. Back to the drawing board.

In my truck I have the OEM one which is a plastic bat top that screws on. It's fine. I have a bad habit of turning it idly but I'd have to spin it like five rotations for it too come off.

My fox came with this huge Hurst bar on the shifter that I hated and replaced with a period correct steel ball that gets crazy cold in the winter and takes forever to warm up. It also is held on by a retaining screw so if I turn it it tries to come off but I wrapped a few layers of gorilla tape around the threads the last time I had to put it back on then drove the retaining screw through them so now it stays on and I just have to tighten it up later which is a minor annoyance to break me of that habit rather than dangerous like the knob coming off

Bottom line is I definitely hate bar shifters.

Short throw is based.

Stock

It's plastic, but has a hefty weighted center so you can shift just by giving it a good knock in the right direction

>>15481325
Does it come with vibrating setting?

Fixed it for you anon.

I've been looking at shift knobs recently, but all of the decent looking examples with any weight to them also cost $90-$100. I'm thinking about just machining one myself, I just need to find the thread pitch of my shifter.

What to replace the stock NA Miata shifter with? How do you pick a shifter?

No gay suggestions please.

I just have a stock mazda3 shifter. not at all cool.

Been debating if I should get rid of it or not, its barely crooked and not perfectly centered and makes my OCD irrationally angry. I've enjoyed it so far and it feels good, but the fact that I put it on about a cm off from center drives me up a wall.

stock shift knob on my ST. i don't like the way it is shaped. only really feels good in like one direction. I kind of want to get a heavier one that is just a sphere shape. although I've read too much weight can be bad
