My Shift Knob. Post yours too - Page 85 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Recently got a Mishimoto shift knob. Looks and feels great it has a good weight to it makes a huge difference in shifting. My only issue is the white plastic from the reverse lock out. The shift knob is all the way to the bottom and you can see it. I bought a blox adapter but it seems to be to thick it doesn't go with the shift knob very well. Can anyone help me with any solutions?

http://imgur.com/Tv0ToyJ kind of a weird fit and it ended up spinning a lot, but my boyfriend got me this as a birthday present. Which makes him the best.

^^^ very cool! You can probably buy the blox reverse lock adapter (picture above) on amazon to fill that gap. It will look good because the shift knob is round similar to the knobs that Blox sales.

anyone know of any sphere knobs but made of delrin or coploy (plastic)
that looks like the lathewerks ones, not the finish but the shape and position of it.

It's really light being hollow Duracon, only 89g. I prefer a heavy knob for the feel, but I don't mind in this case because it looks nice. I wanted something that reminded me of old 80/90s Japanese knobs. Remember Blitz, Nismo, etc.

So I just finished reading this...entire...thread (only took me 2 days, with breaks). Because I wanted to settle on a good knob (and my wife may be getting me one for christmas, so I wanted to narrow it down). As it stands, my top three brands are Raceseng, WC Latheworks, and Flossy (being third because of poor customer service read about in this thread). Does anyone have a more recent experience with Flossy that would give me more of an idea of the current state of affairs? I really like the customization options that are with Flossy, but dont want to wait months for the product.

SIR... is that your counsel wrapped in leather and stitched? Please tell me where you had that done!

Ideally, we will not have exposed stitching in production. I want an invisible seam with a hidden stitch.

It has been a few months. Any updates on the leather knobs? Hopefully the task didn't prove too difficult and was abandoned

I'll post an update when I have one. We are still working on it although it is proving to be difficult!
