I really wanna get the J's knob, just cuz i J's stuff so much. But lately i'd been looking at a knob made by Hybrid Racing. They made some out of Aircraft ball bearings. really pimp

 

yeah i thought the nut was for keeping it tight too. I have the Skunk2 knob and i didnt use the nut, it sits lower. stays on tight too

 

So I took off the knob, then the washernut, screwed the knob on, but the numbers don't face the way they should. They are a little crooked, like 35-45 degrees to the right crooked. Is yours too? I'd assume so since we did the same thing. wtf.

 

are you guys talking about a nut-ish thing that screws into the knob? if that's the case, it's there for you to adjust how far down the knob screws onto the shifter, so that you can align the words or whatever may be on the knob.

 

oh my, I'm a complete idiot, I didn't know it screws into the knob, I thought the knob rested on the washer end of the nut...........wow....

 

ok I was right. The bottom of the knob rests on the washer end of the nut. With my Mugen shifter I installed today, the boot can kinda cover the nut, which if anything, makes me feel more secure that the knob won't come loose. I'm going to loctite the top of the washer a little bit once I get my t1r shiftboot in. I don't plan on removing the center console at all after that.

 

Your boot looks like it has an indent. What happened there?

Oh yeah, nice Skunk2 knob. I have the same one and I love it. I think it is so heavy it could double as a weapon.

 

I had the same indention in my stock shift boot before I switched over to Mugen. I think it's just from shifting or being in 3rd so much. :P

 

hmm, the indentation actually looks like the boot is being pulled upward. LOL. and yeah the pattern on the knob doesnt align correctly without the nut. but it sits a bit lower and feels a little better.

 

i have yet to get a aftermarket shift-knob. i like the stock one, but i wanna try something new.

 

 

yes matt i remember seeing that!
it looks so awesome

 

thanks. its an old pic

 

dope! laker colors hahaha. mmmmmmugen

 

Wonder what's in that cup?

 

I've been looking at the Spoon shift knobs lately, not sure if they have the weight I want.

Duracon - 2.3oz or 60 grams
Aluminum - 4oz or 110 grams

Would you guys get the duracon or aluminum one?
Any other recommendations?

 

60 grams? 110 grams? That's nothing! Why would you want such a lightweight knob?

 

LMAO noticed the laker colors huh? now thats hillarious

 

That's what I was thinking. Too light. I was also looking at the T1R or something in a ball shape. Too many to choose from!

 

pshhh laker colors that's my school colors
