Review on ZHOL Chrome Finish Aluminum Transmission by Toki Louton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Liked the knob but not the logo

Bought to replace the stock gear knob on a 1995 Mazda B2300 (Ford Ranger clone). The pen I received has the "SKUNK2 RACING" logo on the top, which I wasn't expecting based on the product photo. I would prefer an empty one like the one in the picture because nothing can turn a 4-stroke pickup into some sort of race car. None of the adapters fit my shifter, but I knew I needed one. Ford used a splined shifter that was approximately 14.75mm in diameter. The hole on the ball is about 3.25mm larger than the stem so I just filled the gap with high temp RTV silicone. Radio and heating control. It is also very comfortable and smooth in hand. It's metal, so expect it to be hotter or colder than a plastic or leather grip. It warms up nicely in your hand. The handle is blue at the top, becoming purple closer to the base. I had to replace some dashboards a while ago and when I replaced the yellow incandescent bulbs with white LEDs, the dashboard lighting went from a dull green to a bright blue. The radio is a Pioneer FH-X700BT with display and front panel lighting that matches the instrument panel lighting. The dash lights and radio that bounces off the handle make it easy to find in the dark, and it looks really cool. I had no scratches but there is a tiny chip at the base of the ball where the hole is. Buryats. It's not very noticeable unless you look at it from below. Let's see how well the finish holds up.

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • Was damaged
