Universal Shift Knobs

[petitevan]

I would like to replace the leather-covered knob on my 5 (AT) with a chrome one. The color of the leather has faded a bit and now appears tired. Found a few simple ones on Amazon.com and wonder if anyone here has any recommendations?

Well, that choice is a purely personal matter, but I grew up with Momo, Nardi and Personal and can vouch for their quality and durability. Stay away from Razo. Also, there was a thread about this sometime back. Do a search and you'll see some nice ones there. The Greddy knob seemed to be a favorite.

Greddy knob is awesome, its counter weighted and makes shifting so much easier
i love mine

The Greddy IS a nice shift knob, but because the company is so synonymous with their turbocharger kits, I can't bring myself to install one unless my engine was blown.

The only problem I foresee is not having an adapter small enough to be able to thread the shift knob on.

FYI Miata shift knobs will fit on the 5. Hopefully this will add some more options.

I'm trying to figure out why the driver would want a shifter with such a long throw, especially on a Miata. The shifting action is one of the highlights of the car.

Thanks, guys, these look awesome! Is there a difference between knobs for manual tranny and for automatic? Mine is automatic, and yes, it is just for the show and the occasional use of manual mode.

Which ones are the ones that look awesome?

The thread is a little bit different, here is from the site:


The AutoEXE Carbon Fiber knob is available in natural carbon fiber or silver weave. The knob for MTX comes in a M10x1.25 thread pitch and the AT knob comes with a M8x1.25 thread pitch.

I always go for a clean and subtle look, so the single-color ones will work for me, like the carbon fiber silver knob in the pic you posted. But for $100, I would probably get the HID lights instead.
