Looking For Specific Shift Knob
2004 TL 6MT
I love my Mishimoto shift knob. Great weight, great height, great feel. I'll be doing the CT short shifter upgrade soon and it will feel even nicer then. Anyway, I'm wondering if there is a shift knob out there this same style, tall, cylindrical, not too thick, but that is deeply countersunk? Basically, I would like something that goes down to where the shift rod starts to bend. This would still give me this style shift knob, but allow the overall knob to sit lower, of course depending on the height of the knob itself. I have the Mishimoto screwed down as far as it will go. I can't seem to find a good weighted, countersunk shift knob like this.
Any suggestions?

Cut your shifter rod and then rethread it yourself!

Both options did occur to me, but it's not worth that much effort to me. If I can't find anything like what I described I'll just stick with the Mishimoto for now, do the CT short shifter and K-Tuned cable bushings, and cinch the boot up so it looks nice.

That's hilarious, I was just looking at them today. They've been on my list for a while. They definitely seem top notch, I just don't know if I want to drop almost $200 on a shift knob + boot adapter. Very nice looking products for sure.
Also how do you say their name? "Race Seng," "Races Eng(ineering)" . . . . ??

it's like "racing" haha.
they are worth every penny. they have one sale a year at black friday and it's 20 percent off. i've convinced about 10 people to get their knobs and they all love them. it improves everything about shifting.
here's my write up review:

I don't think they're overpriced for their quality, and I believe in paying for quality. Just for me personally and for this car, I don't know if I want to spend that much. Their products and the way they work together, i.e. the shift boot adapter and the way it fits into the knob, is the cleanest and smartest design I've ever seen. For clarification though, the top machine screw shown in this pic from your review is what you use to align the shift knob so the shift pattern is straight, correct? So you need to set it and try the shift knob multiple times to get the perfect alignment? I'm just clarifying the way it works so I understand.

i agree with you, one of the main selling points was how the boot adapter fit in seamlessly. i'm all about getting things looking oem and this was the icing on the cake. if you want to see some of their other knobs check them out on IG...they take huge pride in taking great pictures and good marketing.
as a heads up, right now (not sure how much longer they will have it) they have a rare 10% off and free shipping...

Oh, I disagree. I love the added counterweight of a weighted knob. Shifter goes into gear smoother. Now I have had shifter extenders before, and the weighted knob was too much with that setup because the added height/length of the shifter provides the same effect. Without an extender, I prefer a weighted knob.
