QUOTE (block @ Nov 12, 2010 - 11:24 PM)  I like that one. IMO, it would've looked better in black. QUOTE (easternpiro1 @ Nov 8, 2010 - 7:03 AM) this is the one i have. Greddy counterweight shift knob. GREAT shift knob! I SWEAR BY IT! (but in the summer you better wear a batting glove or somethin cuz your hand will BURN!  ) where'd you get yours. the ones i looked at are for hondas. not sure if the size is the same as toyota, which i doubt.

(but in the summer you better wear a batting glove or somethin cuz your hand will BURN! )I never had any problems with the knob being too hot to touch or my hand getting burned from it you guys must drive convertibles and leave the top down with the sun shining on it all day or something lol i looked thru my history and couldnt find where i mentioned it (thread may have been deleted) but a honda one will not fit (gear shift is too skinny iirc) remy u never got burned by the metal greddy knob?! you must have some MEAN callouses! i have to wear a glove on my hand when i shift its so hot, or cover it up. i have a regular coupe with out a sunroof

I think most universal aftermarket shift knobs work this way, All the ones I've ever used have. It works, kind of ... I found our shift sticks get fatter than 12mm after the thread finishes, so the adaptor cant slide all the way down, so then your new shifter sits higher than your stock knob. This could vary depending on the knob style though, happened to be the case with mine though, I found a way around it though. -------------------- Speeding doesn't kill! It never has!
