^^ that's what the knob reminded me of :P :P

 

YES i love the MT Stock Shifter

 

This one a FF member dougie pants took

Here is the base


For some reason, the shift knob isn't even mentioned under the features that separate the sport from the base. It used to confuse me, because when I test drove the car I currently owned, the shifter didn't match the pictures on the website (which was base)

 

Switch to an A/T or CVT tranny, then you don't need to feel the shift nob so much

By the way, is there any aftermarked shift nobs for the A/T tranny too?

 

Mine too...the rubber right around the metal part all bubbled up and ripped in one spot. I replaced it with another, as I like the stock knob.

I have 48k on my Fit, soI wonder if it's normal for that to happen, or if I mess with it a lot...

 

daaanng how many miles you drive a day? I thought mine was high (32k)

 

damn 48k miles is a lot lol.

i actually think teh base knob looks better than the sport

 

whats the difference between the base knob and the sporty knob, when i was getting my fit the manual's weren't even in yet. After a month after i got my a fit a freaking manual fit squezzed into the dealership SOB.

 

Thanks! Nice pics. It looks like the sport one has a better grip.

 

LOL so true.

 

Cause Canada = suck

 

I screwed in a Hurst T-Handle. I've put them in all the mt cars I have owned - just what feels best to me.

Aluminum handles do suxXx. I have a headband/bandanna(?) around the gear shift post to wrap the T-Handle when it is too cold or too hot.

 

I just saw a '07 fit sport and it had that same shift knob.

 

I wonder if it's US only...or kept secret. The site doesnt' even mention you get a better knob for the sport model

 

I have the sport shift knob, so we do get it in the great white north

 

Test drove an 08' Sport and it didn't come with that nice golfball one... ? depends on color? or possible a base buyer switched it?

 

i didn't really notice the shift knob since my old car's shifter was about the same size... but the transmission's what sold me on the car! definitely one of the best fwd shifters i've had the privilege to use : )

 

As an American who grew up due north of Canada, and as someone who has been to Canada many, many times, I'd like to apologize to our friends to the north for your "Canada = suck" statement. I hope you were not serious .

In any event, it appears as if Canada will have the last laugh on us. If you pay any attention to the news, you have seen the value of their dollar rise, while ours has been plummeting. One difference between the U.S. and Canada. In Canada, loonies are dollar coins. In the U.S., they are running our government.

 

Hey, the local Publix grocery in Nashville, TN carries Coffee Crisp now!!!!

This weekend, I downed one in my MT Fit, so for a while my shfter was both sweet and crunchy .

And yes, like the base MT ball and boot, very European, the ball reminds me of VW, and the little shift boot is similar my very first car, Citroen GS.

 

Bump:

They need to sell that damn thing. If I owned another honda car, I'd want one too. The civic and new accord's stick is ugly.
