Well...I can't believe a Titanium ball is worth $150 but I guess it is I am buying an ARC Ti shift knob. What are you guys using aside from the stock ones? I like my MR one but the ARC is going to shorten the throw a little and seems to be heavier for better shifting so I'm hoping it'll be worth the $$$.

It's funny because when I used to admire manual drivers for being able to get all these cool shift knobs. I wanted an ARC Ti one really bad but the MR one is so nice it's hard to justify switching it. After I had a chance to feel the knob on Randy's (WWEVO206) it was final...I need this knob in my life!

Anyways, if you guys got info on any aftermarket shift knobs let's list them along with pics, specs, and price please? I'll keep this updated for reference Thanks!

FYI: For Evos, we need 10x1.25 thread pitch just in case anyone wants to buy a shift knob. This is the same thread pitch as Nissans.

Stock 5spd - Leather, non weighted / Price: $Stock
Optional 5spd - Aluminum with black decal on top of gearing chart / Price: $?
Stock MR 6spd - Aluminum, non weighted (has gearing chart on top in CF) / Price: S$tock
ARC - Titanium, counter weight comes matted or titan polished finish / Price: $150 matted finish / +$86 extra for titan polished finish
RALLIART - Rubber, non-weighted / Price: $45

Had a Tommi Kaira Shiftknob on my Z - most expensive shift knob i have ever bought but I loved that thing, so buying the ARC knob was more "easy".

Actually I have a ARC Titan on my Evo - just installed on monday and one on my CTR (both ball knob, matted).

MR Knob was fine - but I thought it looked a bit "rice" with that fake carbon fiber sticker.

 

Nice! Let's see it bro! And yes the Tommy Kaira one for the Z is sick, I'm not sure about the design for shifting but it definitely looks nice I was gonna get the Titan one but I don't like getting my prints all smudgy on it so the matted ARC is a better choice for me.

Let's see some pics! I think this thread is an attempt at helping eachother not feeling too bad about spending $$$ on a ball of metal

 

I have a titanium shift knob and it gets really hot in the sun, and I have tint.

 

No pics of the ARC knob in the EVO yet, sorry, I'll try to shoot a pic tomorrow.

I have a pic of the one in my CTR



Edit: I have much less "heat" problems with the titanium knobs than I had with the usual metal knobs (the original Type R knob for example)

 

What I'm running: RalliArt black shift knob.



$45.00.

 

That's sick! Can you check what's the thread pitch and pattern for the ARC on your Evo? I keep seeing 10x1.25 and got confirmation but some shops (like lancershop) says the ARC won't fit the MR....I got it already on its way but it would suck to find out it won't fit!

 

Is it counterweight and is that rubber? Thanks for the info I'll update my original post.

 

M10 x 1.25 is the right size for the EVO - thats what I installed fitted perfectly.

 

Thanks, I guess Lancershop doesn't know what they're talking about It's the same for all Evos right,? There is no difference between MR or GSR?

 

Cant tell since I am not in the US - officially mine is named Lancer EVO IX Ralliart over here but its mostly like the MR in the US I think (Bilstein shocks, aluminium roof etc.)

 

It is plastic, doubt its counterweight, feels awesome though.

 

There are also 2 other Ralliart Knobs available (at least in Switzerland), both quite nice and not too expensive (about 90- 120$):

 

I could of swore it was different for the 6spds Alvin.. Ask randy though, his is a MR.

I have a ARC on the way, should be here just in time for the car!
