The best shift knob depends on your driving style, but generally:

• Weighted knobs = smoother performance
• Custom knobs = personalization + style
• Ergonomic shapes = better grip and control
  

For most drivers, a weighted, custom-fit shift knob offers the best balance of performance and aesthetics.

Not all shift knobs are universal. Fitment depends on:

• Thread size (adapter size)
• Shifter type
• Vehicle make and model
  

Many aftermarket knobs use a universal shift knob adapter system to fit multiple vehicles. Always confirm thread compatibility before purchasing.

Shift knob adapter sizes vary by vehicle and manufacturer. Common thread sizes include:

• M8x1.25
• M10x1.25
• M10x1.5
• M12x1.25
  

The easiest way to ensure proper fitment is to use our adapter guide.

Installation is easy! It typically takes just a few minutes with basic tools.

Most of our shift knobs include a threaded M16 x 1.5 installed machined metal insert. But depending on your make and model this knob may require an adapter.

1. Remove the existing knob (unscrew or pull off).
2. Identify thread size. Purchase OEM adapter set if needed.
3. Install the correct adapter if needed.
4. Thread on the new knob securely.

*You can use some Loctite or a spray of silicone on the threads of the insert before installation for a budge-free smooth shifting experience.

Our Dual Action Shifter allows you to customize your gear shifting experience like never before.

Our dual action shifter features push button shift AND side action shift – both options with one mechanism! The dual action shifter not only works the same as the signel action shifter, but the dual action shifter also allows you to change gears by pushing the stick to the side. When doing this you do not need to push the button on the knob.
