Hey guys so im picking up my new 2012 evo gsr today from the dealer. I got to sit in it last night when it arrived but wasnt allowed to take it home because the bank was closed.... But I realized when I was sitting in it that I wasnt the biggest fan of the oem shift knob and the actual shifter itself. I had an rsx-s before and had a skunk2 shift knob before and LOVED IT. Anyone know if I can get a better knob (similar to my old skunk2 one)? and what do other people think of the oem setup

 

Congrats on your purchase!

Here are some links to consider.....

Ohh wow okay thanks for the info!

 

Alot of people dont like the OEM shift knob. I dont think its that bad. It aint great. But doesnt bother me.

 

Yeah now that I have been driving around its actaully not so bad

 

Let us know if you want a weighted ARC replica titanium shift knob in your new Evo X, we have great pricing for EvoM members!

This blox one reminds me of my old S2 shift knob: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLOX-RACING-...6e66bc&vxp=mtr

Congrats on your purchase! I just got my 2012 GSR too and I'm still floored (don't think that's going away any time soon).

The OEM knob is certainly a no frills item and I see how it can get uncomfortable to some.
I might switch mine in the future for one that looks kinda like the nismo one I had on my 240sx which is oblong and not a ball so I have leverage but as I am reminded these days by the weather I want to make sure if I get a new one that it doesn't feel like the wrong end of a soldering iron... though in the OP's case would be a popsicle eh?

 

Just buy an aftermarket one and sell me your OEM knob. I've been looking for one to replace my 09 Lancer dumb-look-knob

 

I personally know Anatoliy that sells BuyBlackline, the knob he sells is *nice* He popped it out of his VIII (the one pictured on his link) and the weight of the knob was perfect.

It's a great choice

 

there is a good thread in the show and shine section of nothing but shift knobs...might wanna take a look there for ideas
