I'm liking the Fit sport's leather steering wheel more every day. Has anyone found an MT shifter knob that gets close in look and feel to the wheel. I couldn't care less if the 5 speed pattern is displayed on the knob. I've looked at the various knobs displayed in many "knob" threads and am looking for a more understated knob than I've seen. The stock sport MT knob feels a little as if I'm grabbing a hunk of soft tire material. I'd like the same feel the steering wheel achieves. Any ideas would be appreciated.

 

The knob off an Auto Acura TSX would look similar and should fit.

 

Got any idea what that would cost? Honda/Acura is pretty proud of their stuff! Would the manual/automatic cause issues? I'd think it would. I really like the way it looks. It would be perfect if it would fit!

 

Its pricey. 126 bux at acurapartspeople. The P/N is 54130-SEC-A83ZA

 

I assume they're an online retailer? With the rising cost of gas I'm trying to cut costs but the manual sport's shifter knob is almost like grabbing a hunk of tire.

 

have you looked into the jdm one? its wrapped in leather, which could have the same feel...

I like the knob but I was hoping for something like my 85 MR2's leather "half banana" shift knob. The stock knob on the fit sport looks like it was made in a tire factory.
