Shift knobs and more shift knobs....

[QFT]

I did read in another thread about how you can take the bottom cover off many Momo knobs to pull the boot up and wrap around. I'm going to give that a whirl and see how well it looks/sits on the knob.

Would that work with a stock lever? That's the one thing I dislike about my momo knob... the boot doesn't actually match up at the bottom.

i believe the guy in the other thread had a stock lever but a momo knob with the allen screws. i think it just depends on the design of the bottom of the knob. i'd give it a try, so far so good over here.

I'm nearly positive that mine is threaded, and only threaded. But thanks anyway.

Is the Momo any heavier than stock 2011 knob? I really like the look and it just may be the one.

How much does this cost?

I'm also curious about the weight of the momo - heavier hopefully?

the Momo knob weighs about 11 or 12 ounces according to Oakos Automotive (they list the knob weight with the boot as 13oz, which equates to 368 grams).

here's the Shift Knob I use it was a big lighter than stock and way more comfortable. Momo Nero $100 new Seen on ebay used for $50 and in perfect shape.

I bought one of their first two options of knobs about 6 months after they started...copolymer sphere and the steel sphere...still have both, on my second STI. Even had a custom 350z knob made in the inbetween STI stages. I'd probably never look for a different company. Great customer service and quality is unparalleled.

wc lathewerks makes incredible shift knobs. Mine can be seen on my pics thread here Updated pics of the Bugeye. Its their black copolymer sphere with large grooves and the shortest neck. Also has the brass insert to add weight and is the largest diameter they offer

I just bought the same shift knob and tried to install mine. Did you have any problems getting the bottom screw to tighten up ? If I screw the allen screws too hard, I can't get the bottom screw fit.

+1 for wc lathe werks. Got the stainless steel ball in gunmetal finish. Heavy as hell and looks sweet.

+1 for WC Lathe Werks as well. Just installed the stainless WRX Piston and it is awesome. Great quality and the added weight is a huge plus. They have a great variety and can do all sorts of custom work.
