Last Run of Shift Knobs

I have had a few people ask about another group buy of shift knobs. The machinist that makes these for me is retiring. He has a small business and is in the process of selling that business. He has agreed to make another run of shift knobs, before the sale is complete. Once he sells the business, I may not be able to get these made and the new owners may not want to make small batches of shift knobs.


So here goes:

These will be 2 1/8" diameter. The TRD shift ball is 2 1/4". So this will fit in you hand a little better.

Color Options will be:
Black ball with red engraving
Black Ball with blue engraving

Price is $65 shipped.

If you want it weighted, add $10. (9 ~ 10 oz.) Add $10 - this is a worthwhile option.
If you want something engraved below the shift pattern (6 characters max.) such as "COUPE", add $10.

This is a pic of one I did for BabyBoi.

2. They will be weighted. They will be between 9 ~ 10 oz when finished. This make the shifter a little quieter and helps making the shifts a little smoother.


These will look like these.

If someone a special color like green or pink, it can probably happen. If you want a knob for your automatic or your T56 is can also probably happen. These special requests may cost a little more. You can pm me and we can see if it is possible.

I need at least ten (10) people to make this happen. I will start asking for funds on January 15.

I will let this run until January 31. After Jan 31, if we have ten (10) people that have paid, we will make this last run. If not, I will either give eveyrone their money back or make up the difference.

It takes 6 ~ 8 weeks to make these. I will not turn in the order until after Jan 31, so delivery will be late March.

Let's start a list.

(I know it said 6 character's max but seen the BabyBoi ball and thought maybe it would be OK. If 7 is too long that is fine just go with no engraving under the shift pattern.)

I can probably make that work. Two of the characters are "i" which are narrow.

If these don't work out do you have any weighted knobs in stock?

Are the autos going to be diff. or same(shape wise)


Auto's have a different thread pattern. I can put the shift pattern on the top of the ball if you want. No need to spend money for a weighted ball on an auto. The X-R can be removed from the sides.
