I've wanted the ARC knob for awhile but I couldn't see myself spending over 200 bucks for a shift knob. This looks and sounds like a great product!!! I will be ordering one this week!

^^ if they are instock.

Dont waste ur money on arc, after comparing the knobs i seen that the arc knob is lighter and uses a plastic insert that is threaded (This can be striped so easily).

Now with the Fortune knob its heavier which is better and also the fortune knob uses the inside of the knob as the threads ( so u have nice metal threads )..


Fortune auto shift knob by far the best knob for the price

Alright, here goes! The knob is very nice, I'm impressed. For starters - if you didn't know how to remove your MR knob - it can probably be done without it, but taking the carbon fiber sticker off (mine had already fallen off) and loosening the allen screw inside makes it cake to remove. I could never manage to get it to twist off, it's hard to get a grip on.

Anyways, on to the Fortune Auto knob. It's on as tight as it will go - and there's a gap down to the reverse collar. It still functions - I'm just trying to figure out if there's a way to fix it to look nicer somehow. I don't know if there's anything we can do - there's probably the same problem with any knob.

Anyways, here is my first shot at posting a picture. Excuse the dirt - I haven't had a good day to do spring cleaning yet!


One sec, let me find a suitable host.

Alright, let's try this!

Thanks for the Review
Yeah ARC has plastic threads

Yeah that is a tad high
Just clarifying for people...This is knob sits high on MR Applications only.
On 5 speed cars the knob actually sits lower then stock.

Thanks guys!
We have 4 knobs left and we have 2 that are very slightly scratched from manufacturing.

If any of you are interested I can blow out the 2 slightly damaged ones for a really low price...PM me for pricing on the damaged knobs
