AT Shift Knob Upgrade ?

Lexus AT knob

A used Lexus AT shift knob I got from eBay arrived today, set me back just under $24. It screws right on; here are some pics including the rubber knob for comparison. The position of the leather stitching feels to me a bit odd and I'm not sure I'll get used to it, if not it will go up in the FS section for cheap.

Would any newer Mazda shifter fit ??

Thought it would be a nice addition..

No prob - I'm trying to find a cheap leather knob with no visible stitching.

Here's another one which is listed as a Lexus IS250 knob, but definitely isn't. I've asked the seller to clarify, haven't gotten a response yet.

I was pretty disappointed that the Touring model didn't come with a leather knob since the wheel is leather. But since I replaced my leather knob on my MZ3 with a Momo, I put the MZ3 knob on the MZ5.

another week, another shift knob:

Here's a Monsterknobs shifter threaded for AT. It's a 2" shiny black round cue-ball type and material, although the bottom of this particular knob is flattened.

Looks nice but I'm not sure I'm a round knob kind of driver. I'll give it a couple of weeks to try to get used to it.

In the meantime, I"m using the center console to hold the other 2 knobs...(yupnope)

It looks like the joystick from an arcade game.

(lol) PacMan in overdrive! Looks interesting in the MZ5. Reminds me of the P/T Cruiser I drove the other day. Ugly car, but really liked the retro AT Shift Knob (although the thing should be freezing cold during Winter I assume (boom03)).

Might a couple of arcade-style buttons on the console help? You could hook them up to some noisemakers, LED's, or aftermarket seat heaters.

The knob looks and feels nice, but I don't like the feel of the exposed shifter post. Not sure what knob I'm going to look at next.

Shift Knob

See EBay under Mazda 5 shift knobs I hope the attached link opens. I have this knob on order. I bid $39.99 for the knob/w Mazda logo
