Fuzz420: How do you like the SS V3?

 

[Poodles]

I really can't make up my mind on a shift knob for my car. Looking for unique, different, and cool ideas. The only shift knob I have been happy with is the TRD shift knob right from Toyota, but the car being a daily driver for the most part, the leather wore down in one summer.

Let see pictures of those shift knobs and leather combo's!

Mine was a DD and mine lasted a few years (it's still in perfect shape but the car is parked). What did you do to it? :aigo:

I like it,nice short throws perfect for daily driving.Now if your going to be drag racing, i wouldnt suggest it.

Why's that?

Why's that?

Missed shifts, getting locked out of gears. Common for all cars with short shifters.

What short shifter kit is that? I'm using the Beech Performance one, however; even in neutral, my shift knob appears all the way forward rather than centered like yours.

Thats the sogi short shifter at its best. it was free, so it is best

What shifter is that???

The TRD shift knob is the best IMHO, You on the SOGI shifter or aftermarket?

By the way, where in WI are you?

I also thought SOGI is the best, until I tried the NM v2. Mmmmmmmm.

I don't think so. A properly made short shifter does not do this. Hence car's from factory like the STi or S2000 that have short shifters as standard and people make use of them quite well without error. That's of course if your a good driver like myself. Ask Fonz..... he knows what I'm capable of.

lmao idk why im gonna post this, i know im gonna get flamed but just to make it clear it was a joke for one of my friends just to take the picture lol and its a hks shif knob

 

[Fuzz420]

Why's that?

I find it awkward.Maybe its just me, i probably dont speed shift enough. Missing shifts isnt an issue for me, i actually missed more with out the short shifter.Like i said i like it but i dont speed shift, i granny shift.

I agree with you but I was mainly talking about aftermarket shifters.

For street use they're great; but from what I hear from the drag racers, they're not a good idea.

i also have sogi and i like it. It feels "right" to me. Do you go out to highway 100 on fridays or saturdays at all?

 

[MK3.0dudeman]

Spaniard you could have kept your pivot.But than I wouldnt have it.I love this things.It's the only adjustable shift knob that I know of
