My Knobs

I have always been searching for the perfect shift knob, its crazy how the shape, weight or size of a shift knob can improve the feel of the pattern or gear change. One of the first knobs I bought in 2002 was the Mugen Formula Knob. I know who owns the original knob now, and would like to have it back one day, but I must be on my 4th Mugen Knob or so, and I believe I have had every color at this point (amongst the other 15 knobs I have had) I just love how it feels going through the pattern. It sits up pretty tall and gives a nice amount of leverage in the gear change, and it is easy to grasp in a quick pinch. You can pick one up from EvasiveMotorsports for $95.00.

So when it came to my wife's car I knew just what knob to get, years ago I had tried a Spoon silver Duracon knob, and I really liked it. The only problem at the time was it had a 5 speed pattern on it and I that kinda bothered me so I got rid of it based on that. But guess what? Spoon answered my woes with a new model with a 6 speed sticker for the top instead of the 5 speed. A nice thing about the spoon knob is that it has a small set screw at the base to make it straight on the shifter. Also the silver and the black colored knobs are offered the black has a rubberish finish on it that is recommended for high heat environments or if you prefer the black over silver color. I like the shape of this knob and its rather small but glides in the pattern quite well. We picked this knob up from Greg at GT Motoring, for $60.00.
