Anyone else try this knob. I've been through 3 momo's, and just not happy with the feel, so yesterday I ordered the skunk2 weighted knob. I orderd the thread 10 x 1.25 as that's what I was told our twm sts threads were. If not, woops, cause I searched high & low, and only found 1 post.
I don't like the hot metal cold metal thing, but I want to try a weighted knob.



Skunk2 Shift Knob Toyota 10X1.25 thread pitch
[627-99-0090] $55.00

Made from stainless steel featuring a gun-metal finish. Each shift knob is custom-weighted to 440 grams. When used in conjunction with the Skunk2 Racing short shifter, the combination provides the ultimate in positive shift engagement. A few other sites had it for $43, but didn't have the thread pitch. I don't mind constructive criticism. Flame on.

5spd. They make a 6, but I didn't bother to look if it just had the 6spd diagram on it, or if it actually had a lockout. I'm sure it was just etched 6spd.

then thats fine, nothin about cars pisses me off more then when i see a 5sp knob on a 6sp carLOL

what did you do with the momo's? did they screw on or have the little black screws that you tightened down?

They (momo) come with the rubber adapters and the 3 set screws, but I always put loctite on the threads or they'll work themselves loose. This momo I have now is the module, brushed and leather, but it's too light.

 

[makoGK]

yeah, I never thought of loctite, I should have tho, I stripped one of my screws, any chance you have any extras you'd like to part with? Sorry, not trying to hijack your thread. I would rather have a weighted knob too. I like the skunk one you are gettin, would like it a lil more in black. pretty good price tho for a weighted knob from what I have seen

I would've preferred it in black also, but this the closest they had. The picture makes it look lighter. On one of my momo's, I tapped out the set screw holes one size larger after they stripped, and used loctite, and you couldn't yank it off. It's about a $10 investment for the tap handle and tap. If you liike your current shift knob, just go to a hardware store and tell them what you want to do and they should hook you up.

And anyone can jump in on my threads, it just adds to the fun.

i think the knob has a decent look to it, the only thing i dont care for is the "skunk" on the the side of it. i guess it might be a stupid reason for not liking it. you could check out twm, they have nice finishes on their knobs and they're weighted.

It's so JDM.

I have had a twm sts for almost a couple of years now and love it, but I just didn't like the shape of their knobs. I did like the black one somewhat. Other than thta, most the weighted ones out there are the ball type.

No one has the 10 x 1.25 so I got a refund. I still want a weighted, but was looking at this isotta matrix. It comes in black, aluminum, titanium, but I like black.







They're an italian company equivalent to momo.

This one (matrix) is a balanced weight, so not heavy enough. My next choice is the TWM wieghted R'
I love my twm sts, and I like this black twm knob, but I like the isotta style better.



or the classic black one

 

[wxman25]

same problem with everyone of those. there metal and they're gonna get cold and hot during the day you can't win if you want a heavy knob
