Mishimoto MMSK-WH Weighted Shift Knob: Enhanced Shift Control and Style Review

This is a nice switch 'knob' that differs from most, but the adapters included are awful. None of them fitted my car properly, and when I used the one that fitted closest, the shifter didn't move all the way, leaving a large gap between the shift knob and the shift boot. I ended up using a hacksaw to cut off a large piece of the larger adapter so it could be compressed and then added some teflon tape around it. I got it working but it was still too high and it was very hard to take it off when…

This is a shift knob. Actually it's wonderful. The right weight for my taste. Makes switching effortless. Good ending. If you are having trouble with the logo not facing the right direction. However, use the nut as a basis for shifting gears. So why only 3 entries? plastic inserts. In my application it was an inventory transaction. So it didn't have the insert I needed. For most shift knobs, buy a brass or stainless steel adapter. This? It uses a size that is hard to find. The m18 hole size is…

I really like this shift knob. I mounted it on my 1990 Miata Track car and not only does it fit well, it makes driving and shifting a comfortable experience. There's simply no comparison to a stock shifter or cheaper imitations. The Mishimoto's weight is just right, making shifting feel sure and precise. It's also big enough to be found without looking at it, but small enough not to hit the dash. Great feel for a smooth transition from steering wheel to shifter. The weight is just right for…

I love the look of this product but have moved on from a larger aluminum and carbon fiber gear knob that really filled my hand. It's very narrow, which can be a problem for riders with large hands. I'll leave it now as I like its weight. It wasn't as low down as the last shift knob either, so I had to remove the shift boot and adjust it higher. I have mine in gunmetal and the finish is nice and shiny but very difficult to keep clean as it shows fingerprints or dirt. This weighted metal is also…

Absolutely amazing upgrade for my lame monotonous plastic shift knob. However, the handle itself should be 0.5 to 0.75 inch thicker in diameter in my opinion. She is beautiful and light (even black like I bought) and does everything I have planned for her. I appreciate the increase in height and weight after installing the short shift kit, it makes paddling through the gears a lot easier. The reason for the purchase was to improve my grip. The old pen kept slipping out of my hand, this new one…

Just to be clear I am happy with the switch at the moment. Maybe a little lower, but oh well. However, getting to this point took a little more work than I actually wanted. It's nice and heavy and seems to help with smoother shifting, albeit a bit longer due to the height. Ah, heights. I was replacing the stock shift knob on my 2008 Mazda 3 hatchback that finally had its skin falling apart this summer (I mean 11 years old and 2 owners. Not bad). The size adapters that come with the handle are…
