Just got my Samurai Shift Knob. - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

0351USMC · 04-19-2015, 02:56 AM

So after 4+ hours of aggressive driving and shifts, my knob failed a block from my house. I was safely able to get home and get the knob off. I don't think its a design flaw, possibly the welds just failed. I still think it's a good product, however it should last more than 4hr.

I expected it to not break at the weld.

I think it'll suit people who have an automatic better since they're not constantly shifting

Really? Was the box from DND Motorsports? My shift knob was different from yours and it's very very strong. I've done some hard shifts with no problems..

They're just being nice OP, nobody likes that awkward white guy that tries too hard to pretend to be a fanboy of Japanese culture.

LMAOOOOOOO. Sweet mother of god I wish I could've seen the look on your face when it broke off.

Well it broke but the threaded section still stayed on, so i could still shift with it.

10/10 would watch again

Actually, it's a good thing it broke. Considering its length, it could be called the Samurai Warranty Killer.

Strange, I would contact them as mine looked really different. The little ring around the handle itself is different as you can see on my pics.

Yeah, I don't like when white people pretend to be my race either,but I'm half white so I guess that works lol. I like it, that's all that matters
