How do you know what gear you're on when you no longer have the shift pattern on the knob? I would be so confused.
When I first learned manual, I had to move the car without touching the gas (finding the catch point) and memorizing all positions of the shifter. I grew up wanting a manual so I also fake-practice on a soda bottle :cheers:

Really? I never look at the knob. How do you drive in the dark?

Pretty sure it's a 3/10 troll effort. If not, really sorry Ketchup. That's like asking how to know how to climb stairs without looking at the steps you're actually on.

i had this one installed for a year.

i started thinking about changing it when my dad tried moving the car once and spent 30 minutes trying to get it to go in reverse.

what i gained in anti-theft, i lost in clutch wear!

Ok wait... I am the most clumsiest person I know. I do look at the stairs.

LOL. Idk, I just learned how to drive manual about a month ago and I've never had an issues with knowing where the gears are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Bumping a couple months...

Any suggestions on a shift knob smaller than stock (MT)?

Small as in grip. Lol.

Thanks in advance

I rock a Raceseng Apex R - it's smaller than the stock knob and feels great. Just watch out when it's wicked hot or wicked cold out...

Why stop at the grip? Ever consider a stubby shifter? I thought Boomba Racing made short throw/stubby shifters for the 86.

At least you're not asking about giant shift knobs. All I can think about is the excessive leverage being put on the transmission.

I didn’t like a lot of the designs so I decided to make one. Solid brass turned on a lathe, laser engraved and cerakoted.
