In a clean black finish with three included thread adapters for broad vehicle compatibility, the Mishimoto shift knob is a simple, high-impact interior upgrade for any manual transmission build.

Key Features:

• Thermal Comfort: Steel dissipates heat more evenly than plastic, staying comfortable in summer and warming up quickly in winter

Why a Weighted Shift Knob?

The shift knob is one of the most frequently touched components in any manual transmission car — you interact with it on every gear change, every drive. Factory shift knobs are designed for cost and mass-market comfort, not for the tactile feedback and feel that enthusiast drivers want. A heavier, steel shift knob like the Mishimoto unit adds mass that improves shift momentum — the knob’s weight helps carry the shifter through the gate more smoothly, reducing the effort required for quick gear changes. At 360 grams, the Mishimoto knob hits the sweet spot between noticeable weight benefit and comfortable daily use.

Why Mishimoto?

Mishimoto is one of the most recognized names in performance cooling and drivetrain accessories, known for producing well-engineered products at competitive prices. Their shift knob lineup brings the same attention to detail and quality control to interior accessories that they apply to their radiators, intercoolers, and oil coolers — a brand you can trust for a product you’ll interact with every time you drive.

Perfect For:

• Any manual transmission vehicle owner seeking a weighted shift knob upgrade over the factory unit
• Enthusiasts who want improved shift feel and momentum without a large investment
• Interior builds seeking a clean black finish that pairs with other aftermarket interior components
• Daily drivers who want a more engaging, connected feel from their manual transmission
• Anyone replacing a worn, cracked, or aesthetically tired factory shift knob

Pro Tip: Pair with a short shifter for the complete shift feel upgrade. A shorter throw combined with a weighted steel knob transforms the shifting experience in any manual transmission build — faster, more precise, and more satisfying on every gear change.

Note: Verify your shifter thread pitch is covered by the included adapters before ordering. Check your vehicle’s service manual or the Mishimoto fitment guide for confirmation.
