Exclamation 6speeder, what shift knob do you guys have?

As stated, what shift knob do you guys have? I am looking for one that has all the gears including R on the top and preferably shorted than the stock. SO what kind is it, where did you get it and how much?

thanks in advance!

shift knob

i have a risk's shift knob that i got off s2k.com since there is no short shift for the 6-speed (i think) the risk's vodo shift knob is a counter-sunken shift knob that acts like a short shiftter look awsome to $60 bucks its fits most honda/acura cars

I know where 1-2-3-4-5-6-R are, so no need for the markings.
I think I paid about 100 bucks for this one w/ the boot.

I have an OEM S2000 knob. It has the 1-R on it. It's metallic and leather. The leather matches the handbrake. It has a great feel that I think is perfect for my hand. I've owned a few Momo's in the past and wanted to put a momo on my 6spd when I got it, but the owner already had this installed. I'm very satisfied with it.

Stock. I bought a leather/aluminum S2k knob, but it just didnt look right to me. The aluminum was too bright and I didnt want to have to get a new boot.

Here's a closeup of the TSX knob before I fixed the boot. these knobs are shorter and much heavier than the stock knob.

I've got an S2000 knob that I picked up off of e-bay. Just zip tied the boot up and it works fine. I like the feel.

I have the titianium regular shift knob from http://www.ricks2k.com/products/shiftknob.php
Nice and heavy, much shorter throw, quite an improvement. Not much to look at, simple, but I bought it for function not looks. I also got the gear pattern engraved on top, looks good. The only thing w/ the engraving is that when screwed in fully, the pattern is not where it is suppossed to be, I just need to get some red lock-tite and it should be good.

The best shift knob is the MUGEN. If your going to get parts for you CL might as well get the best parts. Check these out. Simple and has the 6-speed engravings.

A Miata owner friend o' mine has an aftermarket aluminum shift knob. It looks great, but gets scalding hot in the summer; he has to leave a baseball cap on it when not in use.

I noticed that the S2000 replacement knob guy sells little leather "condoms" (sorry) to keep the shift knob cool.

Obviously, the CLS is not a convertible (duh); so direct sunlight is not as much of a problem. But do y'alls aluminum/titanium shift knobs overheat in the summer?

Not only that, they gey cold in the winter. Leather is the best, plus I like the way it feels compared to aluminum.

I have a leather condom for my titanium knob. It works fine. I use it when the temps drop below 20F or so (my garage is unheated).

Overheating has never been a problem.

$60 shipped, I dont have to replace the boot, just unscrew the knob, then screw it back in, I hope! I think it will be a nice look .

Without making this thread too much of a hijack, I'd refer you to the 'search' button and briefly say that I had a bad experience with this device and returned it. I thought the design was poor and Neuspeed's customer service was even worse.

Unfortunately, the linked pictures are gone.

Some had a similar experience to mine, and others had no problems. One nice thing about this kit is that it was easy to remove it and return to stock. My only real regret was carving up the underside of my shift plate before I decided I hated it.

let us know how it works out, post a pic when you put it on... looks like it will add a nice touch to accent the interior
