Shift knob for 08 Spec-V

[trinity076]

So I searched the forum for anything about aftermarket/replacement shift knobs but couldn't come up with anything good. Has anyone found a decent replacement for the 08 spec v, with the reverse lockout? I called my local Nissan dealership and they can't find anything. (for information, they want $120CDN for the stock one) I checked all the usual suspects (nismo, everything nissan, etc) for compatible shift knobs but can't find anything for the newer Sentras.

I keep scratching the leather off the one side with either my nails or jewelry...not sure which. Either way, it's peeling on the one side now and I tend to pick at it on long drives

Suggestions anyone?

Here is the shift knob i got for my 07 sentra 2.0S. I had to do some super/gorila glue though so it wouldnt twist off.

Try these guys, they should have compatible ones for your car.

Thanks for the replies.@bakerboard - Not so sure I want to super glue it on...but where did you get that shift knob?

@Faja - the twm site doesn't list the different models - not sure if it will fit my car. I guess I could call them...

There is an option to select "your vehicle" on the page, 05-08 Spec V is listed.

Oops...I must have been looking at a different one earlier that only had "Sentra" in the list. Thanks

TWM shift knob and short throw shifter is a great product. I have both and I like the feel for daily driving much heavier. I however have noticed that in spirited driving I prefer the lighter stock knob for much faster power shifts. I do not feel comfortable doing it with this shifter.

Up to you how you drive your car. The knob I have is cold as hell in the winter and hot as hell in the summer. But I like the large ball feeling and the aesthetics is perfect for the interior of the spec v.

Here are some bad pics.

Try this one that I found on Google.com that only took me 10mins to find.http://www.google.com/url?sa=t...ICUuw

I don't see anything on that page that says it's compatible with the reverse lock out...

?? That pretty much sums it up right there. That's what I have. The satin finish matches almost flawlessly to the silver paint used in the spec v's interior.

Hey Godofelru, did you try the knob with just a stock shifter? I have a 2.0S and was wondering if the heavier knob made a difference in the feel of the clutch or gears??

[trinity076]

My last question was about the Momo one btw, not the twm one...

I have the Razo RA96A GT Advance knob from http://www.amazon.com/Razo-RA9...r=1-1

Its weighted and I really like the feel. It was a little tricky to get it on straight so the lock out ring doesn't rub. I didn't want an all metel knob because I thought it might be too cold in the winter.

[Godofelru]

No didn't try it with just the knob, I got it as a combined discount when I purchased them both.

Quick question, I just received and installed my TWM shift knob, but was wondering if you used loctite on the threads to prevent the knob from unscrewing.

[cycspec-v]

TWM is the one i have and its amazing !!!! i have the one in the pic in flat black tho !!

[BOLricoNY]

WORD UP !!! ,It looks HOT, I got the satin one, s*** goes prefect with the interior. So did you use loctite on those threads??

[nametakennow]

I'd avoid Loctiting it on in the event that you want to change it. Just turn it til it's fairly tight and it won't spin around on its own.
