Hello fellow members I will be reviewing the Maven (Countersunk) Shiftknob made by "Fastline Performance" which can be purchased at Heeltoeauto.



Well I dropped by Heeltoeauto today to get my HT Spec Ver. 2 Installed, and happen to lay my eyes on Fastline Performance's New Countersunk Maven Shiftknob and after I heard what was the difference between the Countersunk and the Standard... I had to have it!

What is the difference you ask, well I already have the Maven Standard shift knob which is the exact same thing but the threading is different. The threading for the "Countersunk" shift knob does not start till 3/4's of a inch inside the knob so it will actually not just sit flush with your shift boot but lower your shifter more than half a inch as well!

I took a few pictures to help you compare the Standard Maven Shiftknob to the New Maven Countersunk Shiftknob:

So after looking at the pictures you can instantly tell the difference between the two shift knobs, and when driving the throws for shifting feel a lot shorter as well. A great mod and it also comes in 3 different finish styles (Aluminum, Black Chrome, & Polished). I myself went with the the Aluminum to go w/ the rest of the Black and Aluminum interior.

So there you have it my review on the New Maven Countersunk Shift knob, encase you guys would like to purchase any of the Maven knobs posted in the pictures above here is the link:

I'm still looking for something of this finish for an automatic.

The countersunk looks much better imo.

They also make the standard maven knob for automatics as well.

Forgot to mention on the info that the Maven Shiftknobs are 2x Heavier than the OEM Honda/Acura shift knob!

I think you meant to say that you chose the machined finish, not aluminum. The whole know is stainless steel, yes? I wonder if the countersunk one is noticeably lighter than the regular one, since a little bit of extra steel was hogged out of the bottom, and more significantly, the tapped hole goes higher up towards the top.

*Noob Question Alert*

What is the main differences as far as fitment between M/T and Auto as far as being able to use them interchangeably? Are they completely different sizes or threading, or are they just marketed differently and one could use either?

They also offer the Maven shift knobs for AT owners as well.
