[All] [Generic] Who's got the best knob?

Post by shabz »

I don't like the standard knob on my new car...I had this on before...

s2000 gear knob...feels very nice in your hand :D

I'm thinking of getting another, but does anyone have any other recomendations? Want something that looks simple and feels good

I have a TRD one. Looks like it was designed for the car. Very nice look and feel to it.

I have TRD knob - feels too small IMO.

Much prefer the standard knob.

In that case the knob is perfectly fine, very ergonomic. I've thought about buying a momo one in halfords a couple of times i've been in, always come to my senses tho and wonder why i would waste £50+ on replacing something on the car with a piece that provides zero improvement #-o

I used to have a Momo Anatomica which looks quite like a new standard knob (most are very worn and shiny). The only trouble is that the weight of a gear knob makes a huge difference in how it feels.

I had to load up the inside of the Anatomica with small nuts (not the edible sort!) just to give it some much needed weight.

I know that Moo (paul) on here has a brand new rev3 knob from Toyota (£80 :shock: ), but the look and feel is awesome. It has a really nice texture on it that has worn off most peoples old ones.

Ive got a 9 ball!

Better size than the TRD and was dirt cheap! I think I payed 6 quid for it.

Dude, that looks WRONG! Do you have a short-throw sequential gearbox to go with that? :lol:

Nice effort, though :thumleft:

p.s. also looks like a vibrator :whistle:
