SHIFT KNOBS

Post by **Xxplosive959** » Wed Jun 01, 2005 6:31 pm

I have a 91 240SX SE and I love my car, only problem is that the shift knob on mine is soo damn ugly. It looks like a black baseball. I been looking around and I was thinking of a Nismo carbon fiber knob but cant seem to find a place around my area that has one in stock or can order one for me.Anyone know of any good places online?What kind of shift knobs u guys got? I was thinking of a greddy trust knob but since its all metal i can imagine how its gona burn in the summer, what u guys recommend. Thanks

You can take out the leather "wrapping" on the stock knob and it will reveal a better looking knob IMO that shows the 5 speed pattern.

Did you rip it out all the leather and plastic down to the bare metal ? I've stripped it of its leather, but that's about it.

i just put a greddy counterweight knob on mine today. seems to be a little heavier than the stocker, which was surprisingly heavy. the greddy knob is nice and small.

i'm going to order a weighted wooden shift knob soon to match my steering wheel.

where you guys just said " thats what they look like when you take the leather off ".. thats what mine looks like normally ??

Post by **AkademikONE** » Sat Jun 04, 2005 6:16 pm

If you have the stock one wrapped in leather, yes, that's what it looks like underneath.

I like my Razo shift knob. I also liked my 20th aniversary shift knob I bought for my maxima a while back. It was brushed aluminum and leather and OEM.

are their 2 different stock shift knobs?I dont think Ive seen a pic of a 240 leather stock shift knob, mine looks like your after photo and I just assumed they all did...??? as for felix, he took the top part of the stock shifter off...ghetto short throw...

I'm using a Z32 shift knob. A little taller than the stock knob, so I got a little more leverage and height back after going to the B&M. I'll post a pic if it ever stops raining.
