Hey guys, couriosity question, all my evos I've always just put a mr knob on there because i don't really like the cloth one, but what are some aftermarket options, something kinnda heavy?
I've always loved the skunk2 ones for the hondas, does someone make something sort of like that?

 

worksevo.com makes a good looking and good feeling shiftknob. it has some weight to it. and imo the works short shift kit and bushings are second to none in feel and action. you should check it out.

 

TWM's "high caliber" series shift knobs weigh in at 600 grams (1.32 lbs) as compared to a 400 gram (0.88 lb) skunk2 knob. Yes, TWM makes a "type r" knob that's shaped almost identical to the skunk2 one. Here's a comparison of all of them:

stock evo 8 - 111g or 3.91oz or 0.24lb ( I know you said MR, but I don't know the exact weight of that particular one)

works grab shift knob - 173g or 6.10oz or 0.38lb

twm aluminum - 140g or 4.90oz or 0.30lb
twm classic series - 440g or 14.10oz or 0.97lb
twm high caliber - 600g or 21.16oz or 1.32lb

 

I like my ARC one, i prefer the round "ball" style ones

 

This is more of a matter of taste I think, since some people tend to have their own preferences. I have heard some things about counterweight, but no one has ever really given me enough data to decide otherwise.

+1 to the WORKS grab. That's what I run.

 

always liked the stock knobs.

 

stock for me. dont have to worry about cold or hot knobs in different weathers. feels great.

 

+1

Can't imagine having anything else.

 

i really like the high caliber one, and heavy too
i kinnda like the circuit hero one at 1 lbs or 16 oz

Blox 490LE is one of my favorites. Actually it's the one that I ended using.

The other one I would recommend is the AMS!

 

Noticeable difference in shifting when i put on my GReddy knob. Very cold in winter and hot in summer though. But i agree, its up to taste

 

I've been seeing shift knob threads popping up more & more...I am still rocking my beat-up 6 spd trans & used the OEM shift knob forever. I have been using the Forture Auto Ti shift knob for a while now & its alright, very light. I remember back in the day I have a Greddy counter weight shift knob in my GSX with a B&M short shifter & stock trans. I really liked the way that car shifted. Once I do my 5 spd swap, I'll see how the Ti shift knob feelsb but I may look into a heavier "weighted" TWM shift knob...

 

I'm a big fan of the Perrin shift knobs (the fat one). Got it on both my IX's.

 

Greddy counterweight ftw. Good luck finding one though.

 

ams delrin shift knob, like it feels good, almost the same kinda feeling as my di*k in my hand hahaha jk, but my shifts feel more smooth with this over the oem.
