Description
You only contact your car in a few places - the steering wheel, the seat, the pedals and the shifter. Changing any of these can have a surprising effect on how your car feels.
The knob is made of Delrin so it won't become scorching hot in the sun or transmit transmission heat to your palm, unlike aluminum knobs. It's slightly taller than stock to give you a little more leverage and to make the gates more distinct. We've also updated the design with a metal insert to add more mass to the knob so you have improved shift feel.

I was initially doubtful about it actually staying cool, as every shifter makes this claim and I live in Texas. However, this shifter truly doesn't get hot. I've used it repeatedly on days exceeding 105 degrees, and it's never felt too hot to touch.
It's well-weighted, which improves the feel of shifts, and the installation couldn't be easier.
The design is thoughtful, with an OEM+ feel, which is exactly what I wanted. This has turned out to be the perfect upgrade for me.
Okay it doesn’t look that great in photos and the fact that it’s “plastic” didn’t have me very convinced, but I got it anyways because everyone else seems to love it. And they were right! It’s just the right size and weight, it fits perfectly with no gap between the knob and the shift boot, and the “plastic” that it’s made of feels just as solid as metal without getting as hot in the sun. Definitely improved my shifts and is just a great shift knob overall, very happy with it.
As others have mentioned, it's pretty... nondescript when you first unpack it, but it feels much lighter and freer than stock, and my shifts are a bit smoother. Well worth it.
Try e leather stock knob was already getting sticky on me after just one year so I opted for this simple plastic shifter. It’s about half the weight as the stock knob and you really feel the difference when snapping through the gears. I had no idea that the extra weight in the old knob was contributing to mis-shifts until I tried this delrin knob. Highly recommend as an easy first mod.
So, it really looks kinda stupid. It's simple plastic (or feels that way). It's not polished that much, it has that weird transition from sphere to stick. It's not glossy, it's not matte, it's not premium quality, when you unpack it you feel disappointed.
But damn that changes after you put it in place and drive it.
It feels right. It feels solid. It wants me to touch it, it belongs to the car and rhymes with it. Right size, right touch, right weight. Stupidly good to the point I can't internalize that.
The most joyful upgrade so far.
We can't really disagree. When we first saw it, our reaction was pretty subdued, but that changed completely after using it. We have them in a bunch of our personal cars because, like you said, it's the right everything.
