Opinions of shift knobs
 

I am trying to decide between the flossy knob or the voodoo knob in piano black... Any opinions or other options you guys like??:)

I ordered a flossy... took 3 months with engraving, then i got in and the engraving was off center and there were 3 large chips in the paint. I have tried to contact them multiple times with no luck. its been 5 months and still no reply from them. I thought they had a nice product but their customer service was horrible, i would never get one from them or recommend anyone buy a flossy

I got a flossy and had a good experience, i ordered one that wouldnt fit because of our reverse lockout and i was contacted later that day informing me and that they would discount the cost to upgrade to the heavyweight that would work. Mine was also engraved and was shipped very quickly and at my door within a week.

Do not order from Flossy. I ordered a plain knob from them on black friday. Flossy said it would be done within a week. After 2 emails, he stopped contact with me and I had to file a paypal claim to get my money back over a month later.

My opinion of shift knobs is that they are good.

I got a TRD one and I really like it. It's much smaller in person than it looks in persons. Just slightly larger than the stock one and about the same weight, but feels good in the hand.

I want a flossy

I usually stick with the stock knob. They're usually the most comfortable.

My stock knob was falling apart so I ordered a WC Latheworks oversized ball which I love. I just ordered another WC latheworks piston shaped one because the ball one is a little too big and I want to try a new shape.

Hmmm... Might do this is red. Sorry to hear about all the bad experiences with flossy knobs.

Agreed with the TRD. It also maintains appearance with the rest of the interior. This is what I went with.

You need to feel the TRD knob, leaps and bounds over the stock knob. It is hard to describe the concave feeling.

Seconded on avoiding Flossy, their enamel coated ones crack in the heat, and the guy stopped responding to my emails. I decided to keep it as an expensive paperweight/reminder to never buy anything without checking customer services reviews.

Currently rocking a WC Lathe Werks hybrid piston shift knob, love it. Also have a Perrin knob, the thin one, I like to alternate between the two.

I love my Anarchy Motive. Great weight and color. Great customer service too!

I have the VooDoo in mine. I like how much it's counter-sunk. It definitely reduces the throw. Really improves switching gears without having to get a short throw kit.

I like my wc lathe werks ss ball. Customer service was also great.

Went with a Raceseng Slammer. Superb product!!! They were fantastic to do business with and even though FT86SpeedFactory was out of stock they worked quickly with Raceseng to get my product shipped to me within the week. Both companies were above fantastic, as well as the product I received.

I chose the Slammer over the Ashiko because I felt that the shape would feel more comfortable in my hand, even though I primarily side-arm shift..and the Ashiko is recommended more for side-arm shifters.

Either way, I'm extremely happy with the Slammer. I also got their Gunmetal Reverse Lockout. If you're interested and want to see some pics let me know and I'll post some ASAP.

EDIT: I have 1 picture in my build thread.

I have a flossy redhead knob in mine. My wife ordered it engraved for my last car and I've been using the same knob for almost a year and a half with no issue. She ordered it and it was at my house within 2 weeks. I can't say why some people have such issues with them but my experience was perfect.

This. 100%.

I ordered a Flossy Readhead Heavyweight shorty knob, with no engraving. Paid for standard USPS shipping.

After 3 weeks go by, I was still waiting for a shipping update. First email was "backed up with all the custom orders, sorry for the delay".

When I responded that I ordered an unengraved, plain model, I was told they still had to engrave the flossy logo on the incoming inventory. I asked if they would engrave a shift pattern on it to make up for the delay, seeing as it had to be engraved anyway. No response for 2 weeks.

I emailed back on a Tuesday with a note that if I didn't have the part in my hand by the end of the week I'd file a chargeback with AMEX and file a mail fraud complaint with the USPS.

It was delivered the next day in a crushed box with someone else's name on it - the customized knob's boxes were personalized.

Simply the worst customer service (or lack thereof) I've ever dealt with.

Stock's just fine, imo. But if you're going to do it, why not something a bit more interesting...

My gawd that is hawt. Speaking of which, I bet it gets scolding hot during the summer months...

WC Lathewerks for me. IIRC it's just shy of 500g, and feels much smoother than the stock knob (not to mention more solid - because it literally is a solid stainless steel ball).
Although if the Raceseng Slammer was out when I was in the market, I might have gone with that.

Eh, anything of that metal will haha. I have racing/driving gloves tucked into the right of the seat if I ever need them :P

I had a WC Lathewerks shift knob as well and definitely no complaints. Love Raceseng products and when they came out with the Slammer I had to jump on it. Now there's no way I could go back. Pictures of both in my build thread as well.

I've heard a TON about Flossy, it seems equally positive and negative - but it really comes down to your preference, both aesthetically and how you want it to feel. Don't forget if you get something and you don't like it, just sell it and try something else!

Did you have a phone number for flossy? Address? Any kind of contact info besides email?

I like the fact you can do the custom engraving with their knobs

As far as I know it's all through email. Like I said, my wife ordered it for me and she said all communication was done through email.

I love the Raceseng knob but wish it didn't have the R logo on it.

I think I'm going to try the anarchy motive I'm red :) thanks for.the input on the flossy cs

Eh...you can get a little neoprene cover on ebay or any number of sites, I've also seen leather ones and velour...you slip it on when it's hottest out...search "shift knob" AND sock. I've been looking at the TWM M1 but I like the WC Lathewerks too.

There's a shift knob thread somewhere with a pretty good selection. I myself see nothing wrong wight the factory knob...

There is nothing wrong with the factory shift knob and it's the same for almost everything on the car. It just comes down to preferences and in this case, some prefer to use a shift knob with a different weight/shape.

i know seeing it is good but ,you gotta feel it to believe it......:thumbsup:
