Hello all,

I was online looking for a few little accessories for the fit and I was hoping that someone could make a suggestion as to a nice shift knob that would easily replace the very dreaded plastic unit currently on my gear stick, this is of course a manual.

I would like a type R style knob and I found a nice knock off but wondered if there are generally any problems with fitment when purchasing one of these replicas? Here is the link in question.

eBay Motors: 07-09 HONDA FIT JAZZ TYPE-R SHIFT KNOB GUNMETAL JDM (item 260354093936 end time Feb-27-09 21:21:34 PST)

 

Arc countersunk hands down

 

I just installed my Spoon duracon today, it's a little on the small side so moving from my big stock ball to that felt a little weird but I like the feel of it. I would've considered something like the one you posted but since it can get darn cold and hot here, having a metallic knob isn't exactly ideal.

If you're looking into something like that, check out the skunk2 knob. It looks almost exactly like that one, and will probably cost less. The fitment is perfect as far as I know, get the right thread (1.5mm pitch or something along those lines), and it should twist right in. You can get testimony from some other guys on the forum about the skunk2 knob, and how it fits. Do a search and you should find a thread I made not terribly long ago about shift knobs. Cheers.

 

mugen dildo

 

I actually like the Mugen "dildo", any good suggestions as to a reputable sponsor who sells these at a good price?

 

IMO, get a replica. they come from the same factory and the only difference is a typo on the packaging

 

i know this pic is whored out to death, but yeah. i have a GD, btw

 

^ thats awesome

 

The spoon one sits far too high and doesnt give you a better feeling, had it, was great back in the eg days but was useless in the s2 and im sure be no different in the ge

The Skunk knob is far far too heavy, had it and got ride of it quick

Mugen dildo )lol( had that one as wel in the s2 and hated the feel of it, far too heavy

Got the arc and id never been more happy with probablly over 50 knobs owned in my life on different cars! Expoensive but you get what you pay for.

 

just take a big bouncy ball and drill a hole in it too the middle then thread it and put it on your shifter. i did that to my old impreza.

 

Of course that's just your opinion on it. This is something of real personal preference....we're just giving him ideas here!

 

Absolutly, youll find what you like best forsure. May take a few tries but the right knob is out there for you.

best of luck

 

a few tries can get pretty expensive though..ahahhaha =p

 

I've got the T1R Titanium ball and I love it. Have a look around.

 

i had the skunk2 in the fit. too heavy. i had the passwordjdm ti in the fit. too light. the mugen dildo is perfect IMO

 

So can you say the dildo was a perfect fit... in your fit?

 

hell yeah. no homo

 

im rocking the buddy club ball for the moment. it seems about right for now till i decide i want titanium.

 

i had the budddy club ball in my del sol. was too light for that car

 

i have cut down my shift lever to where the bend starts so it is a freaking short shift lever. i need a heavier knob cause it is getting hard to shift.
