i got the mazdaspeed CF knob... hate those screw types, had a couple of those and i have to re-tighten them very other day, and freaking mess up my shift lever

I've had the same experiences. I'm hoping a $90 MOMO knob works a little better than my old (S13) $20 Pep Boys special, though.. hehe

hrmmmm... these setscrew types don't spin on like the stock shifter? how do you put them on?

I understand the concern with the setscrew types. After I put my new clutch in and replaced the shifter it was hard for me to tighten it. Before the job it had never came loose and it was almost impossible to get it off before. I figured that the screws came loose with the vibrations of the car. So I would tighten it. Drive for 5 minutes...tighten again and then repeat the process one more time. In the end it never came loose again. :bigok:

I had a momo and they semi screw on. (I guess thats how you say it) mine would screw on a lil bit of the way and then you tightened the screws

No, they have three setscrews that radius the bottom of the knob. The knob usually comes with a few different nylon sleeves that make up the difference for various brands of shift arm diameter. You pick the closest one, slide it in, then tighten the setscrews. If you look at the pic of the MOMO knob I posted, you can see a black base - that is actually a threaded valence that covers the setscrews.

Which is cheaper?



works every time, though my wife hates to hear it ("honey, which looks better on me?" " the cheaper one!")

lol, that's always a good option.. :bigthumg:

Yea, why don't you broaden your choices a little bit? I know I've seen some other ones I've liked before.. but haven't really researched on any of them.. so, not too familar with the screw on type delimas..
