Here is a compiled list of all the shift knobs that work with our reverse lift (reverse lockout)

Remember that the heavier the knob, the easier the shifting will be (engaging the gear)

Momo's Module-Rhttp://www.focussport.com/shiftknobs.htmand F-16http://www.europerformance.co....ory=1

Isotta shift knobs:All the models “Special” are for lift-up reverse gear onlyhttp://www.isotta.com/eng/prod...ver=6(there are 7 models)

SHUTT shift knobs:http://www.shuttusa.com/servle...ories(almost all of them are reverse lift unless they say Without Limit-Rear Gear Ring)

Sparco's Globe-R, Globe-X, Road, Easy and Fast-Rhttp://www.sparcousa.com/tunin...tType=http:// ... r-...c6162

RichBrook's Ball, Emblem and Slant Ballhttp://www.2modified.com/gear-...c6162

Well thank you sir!

A couple of quick questions though...with regards to the Razo knobs, I see that the RA96 is exactly twice the weight of the RA95 and I'm assuming that's very good. Any idea what the weight of the stock knob is? Would there be that much of a difference going from it to the RA95 (at 170g) or to the RA96 (at 340g), and is it possible to have too much weight on the knob? Sheesh...I know nothing about shift knobs it would seem! lol

Skip the ra95 and go straight for the 96. the weight difference will be HUGE. the OEM one weights NOTHING, it's plastic and it's feather weight.

And I don't think it's possible to have too much weight on the shift knob as most shift knob max out before 500g

here's some pics of the razo one

I don't know if the AC is the same as the Versa with the MT. Our shifter is not threaded so you just have to yank really hard and pop the old shift knob off. Is it the same for the AC?

Is it possible to also get a compilation of e-brake covers and leather boots. I've been holding out on getting a shift knob because I wanted to get a matching e-brake & boot. I e-mailed a few sellers, all I get is that its universal and it should fit, but cannot gurantee it. Our e-braks are fugly!

Check out Redline Goods. They are a Nico sponsor and I have owned several of their wonderful products. Really nice stuff!

http://www.redlinegoods.com/shiftboot.htm

They don't have a Coupe or Sedan item for this generation on their site but I wouldn't see much of a difference in sizing compared to the last generation. Worse comes to worse we send him some measurements.

Our shifter is. You have to rotate it counter clock wise to remove it

I Love the TWM Performance's M1 Abrams in the Satin Finish and I think would look really good, but when you go to order it on the site, you need to know the thread size if you don't own a Mits. or Subi. Plus $100 is alot for a shift knob. Anyone know a discount code and anywhere cheaper?

I would like to point out that the listing for Turn In Concepts is not actually made by us. They are made by a company called WC Lathe Werks. Actually the company is one guy, Chris, and he turns each knob by hand as the orders come in. He will more than happily work with folks if they have a custom design idea in mind.

Hi mcheddadi,Ok, I found the RAZO RA96. Now, you said to turn counter-clockwise for removal right? Ok, so there are no special tools or screw to remove for the removal? Next, when I remove the stock shift-knob, will the plastic ring (reverse lock) pop out of place? Also, I did notice that the RAZO comes with 3 different types of plastic adapters, which one do I use? I would really appreciate it if you can help me out on this one. ...

Thanks,

Tony

I used the 10mm adapter.

to unscrew it's just rotate counter-clockwise and you're done

it does take LOTS of force so you can always use something like a locking pliers . you just have to put someting on the knob to not crush it with the pliers. I used and old sock lool. the ring won't popout and there is no screw to remove to get the knob off.

it's real easy, don't worry. please give us ride impressing afterwards!!!

Would either one of these work? I just ordered my Short Shifter in the Raceline GB.

I just installed my new shift knob yesterday. For reference, I weighed out the stock knob and mine came in at 178 grams (which was more then I expected before I removed it). Also, unlike Mehdi, mine came off unscrewing it by hand (making the swap take all of 5 minutes). Definitely a noticeable improvement over stock. It feels much more fluid through shifts. Now, just waiting on my STS to be delivered.
