Got back my OEM STI Ti shift knob I sent to WC Lathe Werks! I got the refinish/torch treatment with brass insert for added weight. I think it came out pretty nice!

Flossy Grip-tape heavy weight
custom 86 with KCCO on the side

AsianStyle · 11-25-2013, 12:05 AM

Finally found someone who could make the engraving I wanted. Pictures don't do it justice, since the brushed stainless is so hard to photograph.

1lb of smooth shifting. Seems to mute the notches in the shifts quite a bit. Also, the feel of the knob is so much nicer. I could not stand how rough the stitching was on the stock knob.

I know it's been posted before, but just installed the TRD knob this week, and really liking the look and feel of it. It's not technically the "JDM" one, but for $37 shipped I couldn't resist.

The difference between mine and the one Scottman posted is I've figured a way to cover up the reverse lock sleeve. I bought the Hurst T-Handle, part number 153 0020 ($32.99) and Mr. Gasket Valve Cover Grommets, part number 6376 ($4.99). The open grommet fits nicely over the shift handle lock nut and allows the reverse lockout to operate inside the grommet. The result is a much cleaner look. This shifter makes me much more at one with the car and I'm sure other old farts like myself who used T handles back in the day will appreciate this setup. I'm not necessarily a fan of the Hurst logo but I do like the feel and operation of the t handle. It works for me! Here are my photos:

@zack681720 I thought the Flossy knobs were adjustable with a nut or something?

Interesting, I'll look into that, thank you. And I really mean that.

I would just stack washers around the base and tial and error till its lined up. Kind of like indexing a spark plug.

I wrapped teflon tape around the threads to correct mine. Didn't want to use a nut, which would increase the height of the entire shifting unit.

MemphisR · 12-09-2013, 04:30 PM

Thread locker would work to. I used it on my MR2 and if you use the medium or lightest thread lockers, then they come off relatively easily when working on the car

Fixed it thanks guys lol, @tunami , I found the box for flossy and the nut hidden at the bottom under a piece of cardboard.

But none the less fixed
