Best shift knob to use on a kartboy shift knob?

[vw2p5]

Just installed a kartboy shifter in my mp5, and was curious to see what was the best fitted shift knob to use with this shifter????

Thanks

I used the kartboy one.

Also, I'm pretty sure the thread pitch is the same as stock, so your OEM one will fit too.

I just have 2 msp knobs and they don't even grab the thread on the kartboy they're to tall. So I need to get something else that will work with that shifter..

I love my Tomei 90mm. Cheap too, but not weighted though.

Your shifter's thread pitch is m10x1.25. Kartboy makes nothing for Mazda anymore and Subie thread pitch is different/bigger, so finding a new kartboy knob will be tough.

when i had my protege with kartboy shifter, i ran a moddiction 3" extender and an anvil knob. short throw, near stock height, weighted knob, great feel.

I've got that same knob and a mazdaspeed one, but I am letting them go with the cars when I sell them. I would like to put a weighted knob, or one off a Mazda 3. I also have to do something about the way it shifts, very tight and not smooth.

I liked the mazda 3 knob, the black leather one with the silver collar and silver shift pattern on top. Nice weight to it and looks stock but feels way better then stock

Doesn't anyone use a simple round black ball anymore? lolz. I do and I like it. I hope the jpgs show up. My goal was not necessarily to change knobs, but rather increase the height of the shift ball and still retain the oem "throw distance" or shorten it a bit. This was accomplished with the installation of a generic short shifter (cut off the top threaded portion of short shifter and cap it with the top from the oem shifter. The oem is a 2 piece you know. You set the angle to your preference before the JB weld sets up. And then you screw on your 3" extension and your favorite knob.

I realize I may have provide TMI. but I do it because it's information and many people are here seeking it.

Not a huge fan of the old poolball style shift knobs

That one is nice, but the other one is the one I'm talking about. Had one once before but I sold it on here and I'm kicking myself for doing it..
