Show us your knob

Post by warrior » Sun Mar 15, 2015 3:11 pm

I am after a gear knob for my 91 NA. I want something that that threads straight on (not the rubbish plastic sleeves).

I am just using the standard mazda one at the moment as I have not found anything any better yet.

What are you guys using that is worth looking at?

Voodoo knob? Nice weight, feels good and being deeply threaded it sits lower than stock.  I might've sold the monster but I'm keeping the voodoo knob .. In case, yknow... For next time :)

I personally like my shifter know to be either wooden, leather covered or a plastic compound as I have found if you park your car in a hot place in summer, you can burn your hand on the shifter knob if its made out of steel or alloy.

Got a nardi, doesn't screw on directly though, has 3 Allen key screws to fasten it tightly

I do find alloy knobs get way too hot, have one in the bimmer that I can't stand.
