replacement shift knob for IX...suggestions?

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, so Mods please move if you like.

I want to replace my standard "baseball" shift knob. Why? It's too damn small for my hands. Want something bigger with more weight. I ordered the Greddy counterweight knob from Lancershop and it's smaller than I thought it would be...but it has a good amount of weight to it. Any suggestions from the group on a larger and heavier shift knob than the standard knob? I'm thinking of something about the size of the shift knob on an A4. Thanks guys

I have the same problem, way too small for my taste. I was going to get the ARC knob, but it seems to be about the same size as the IX. Leather would be nice also... way to hot to grab in the desert heat

Get the WORKS knob! I love it. Great size, feel, and weight (I also have the WORKS short throw which I'll recomend to). I missed my civic's set up of a DC sport short throw and skunk 2 knob untill I got the following items from WORKS.

That TWM shift knob is an f***ing monster! Holy cow!

Anyone know where I can find the WORKS knob online to take a look at it?

I had a momo shift knob in the past and it was larger than the stock by far and felt good in the palm. plus it matched the desing of the steering wheel.

Ralliart shift knob.. the black rubber, counterweight one, is great!


I have this along with WORKS 30% shortshifter... pretty awesome. I had the greddy counterweight one as well. The Ralliart is bigger but not as heavy as the greddy, but still has a nice weight to it.

I have the WORKS knob as well, really like it's size, weight and color. It matches some of the other trim interior pieces as well.

can some of you please post pictures of your works knobs installed? i'd like to see a pic of the knob in the same shot as the rest of the interior to see if it looks out of place or not.... i'm considering buying one of these too.

i have the authority shifter so it came with one, i stuck with a leather knob though

pm me if u want to buy the shift knob, its a little bigger than the stocker, much heavier and a sphere.

Cheers!
