RX7 Owners...what is the all around best shift knob you've used
 

I have the expensive leather mazdaspeed shift knob (looks like a stock 3rd gen shift knob) and it's pretty nice, but just too bulky..i guess. Before that i've had many different ones, including the popular Greddy aluminum one, and misc. metal ones. I'm looking to get yet another one. My friend has a MOMO Combat knob on his FD and I really like the feel of it, I'm thinking of getting one now just from the feel of it. Anybody have any recomendations?

Actually, I have the same knob you do. I really like it now that I got used to the feel. You're right... It is bulky. The RX8 knob is really nice (Expensive though)

I have a stock and MOMO.

I like the stock better :)

I HAVE THE RX-8 SHIFT KNOB IN MINE.....ITS THE BEST ONE I'VE HAD YET


:D

The stock knob was pretty good, since it was the heaviest knob that I had.

Right now I use a Razo knob for my shortshifter, and I like that. Aluminum though, so it's pretty cold during the winter and hot during the summer.

I have the MazdaSpeed C/F shift knob. Its amazing.

Voodoo shift knobs :)

These are incredibly popular amongst miata owners and they are really great, excellent feel to them in your palm.

I have a brand new RX-8 Knob that I'm willing to sell.

how much for it?
I have the new Veilside shift knob.......I love it.....very nice.

I agree. It feels solid and looks really nice.

anything that reduces shifter height and weights a lot.

Reducing height is good, but a really light shifter just feels weird, it's gotta have a little weight to it. I had a Momo Cobra that I really liked. I sawed about 1 inch off the shifter (the threaded bolt part), so it was a bit shorter shorter. I also really liked the ergonomic feel.

I'd get the same one again, but leather instead of fake CF.

I have had 3 different Sparco gear shift knobs and her is what i think of them............

ahem???

this was my first one, i give it a 3 out of 10 because it is very small and slippery, i found my hand slipping while upshifting from 2-3 and 4-5

this was my first gear shift knob, i give it a 3/10 because it was to small and i found that it would slip on upshifts from 2-3 and 4-5

sorry about all of the other threads, their is somthing wrong with my account. My first gear shift knob was the Sparco Tecno, I give it a 3/10 because it was to small and I found it slipping on upshifts from 2-3 and 4-5.
My second gear shift knob was the Sparco Bio-Chrome, I give it a 6/10, it was very good but I didnt like the shape of it and it didnt feel right while shifting, the gearshift knob I am currently using is a Sparco Globe-X I give it a 10/10 because it feels good while shifting, looks good, and doesnt slip! You can find pics of all of these gear shifts at www.sparcousa.com

Dang, how are you shifting? I used a Sparco Techno for 2 years and never had a problem shifting. It wouldn't work on my short shifter so I switched to the Razo CF Weighted Shift Knob.

BTW, as far as the height, I used to think lower was better. However, after riding in an FD on a track (road race, not that drag crap) and watching someone using a short shifter with a taller knob (like the Momo Cobra above)... I've almost changed my mind. He didn't have to reach as far to shift on the road course and it made a pretty good difference.

My mechanic just put in a Hurst T handle,at an angle. He locked it in with a sleeve that makes the stem look thick and is long enough to keep the boot in place . It sounds strange to talk about but it looks good and works better .The T handle was redrilled to set at a 45 degree angle instead of flat .I think Rotorbrain has pictures . He and others said , no way ,untill they saw it installed .

Weighted AND CF? Kinda ironic... ;)

I have pics of the Hurst T-Handle Regina is talking about, I just need to scan them and upload them, it does feel cool and work well, I tried out Garfinkle's the other day.

I have a weighted greddy/GREX shift knob its excellent

post pics too
