Gear Knobs

[fuji_heavy]

Anyone else's gear knob all worn out? Just replaced the Nardi wheel with a refurb one and now looking to change the knob and handbrake cover. Everything on ebay is hideous and cheap crap. Any recommendations ? even OEM ones would do

Gearknob I am assuming Manual?

Get them retrim to match?

Yeah... not a lot of options as our thread pitch isn't that common. I managed to find a carbon fibre one that I like from Mx5 Mania (we have the same thread pitch as the mazdas), but other than that, I didn't see many that looked great that would also suit our cars.

i thought most mitsubishi are the same? and I agree with janne, lots of aftermarket gear knobs doesnt suit the car.
I changed to a weighted D1 spec gear knob( heavier than OEM) to assist shifting after the installing the short shifter.

These are one size fits all, comes with adaptors, they are a good weight, come in different colors and they feel nice

Plenty of Ralliart ones available that will do the job, or you can keep an eye on Yahoo Auctions / Import Monster for a handbrake from a Super / Type-S depending on your desired choice of colour scheme.

Uses same thread as Nissan also, so there's infinite options. Dunno why you'd think options are limited. I use a BLOX Counter weight. I love it.

Yeah not sure on those Ralliart balls. I think i want a leather one....might look at retrim. Just wondering what others have done.

Yeah, Mitsu's + Mazdas are the same. Had no idea that Nissans were the same too.
Wonder why I had such a hard time finding some decent knobs :/

Edit: Thats what she said. Because someone was going to say it.

I replaced my "cue ball" gear knob with the genuine one... so nice to use and feels great. Mine is manual

My stock manual gear knob is getting really worn, and I cbf getting it re-upholstered, so I just ordered a Tomei Duracon 90mm shift knob.

I bought a red and black momo one to go with the super theme haha

The Tomei came this morning. 10/10 would recommend.

Here's a pic of mine. If you're wondering about the height of it, its almost exactly the same as the standard gear knob.
