shift knob

[TomFraser]

Go with a black shift boot and a TRD knob, it will look good in your tan interior. Toyota switched it to black for 89+ and I think it looks better, regardless of the rest of the interior's colour. That part of the console is black already, so having the shifter interior-coloured looks goofy to me.

Go black!

good point... I think it's a great idea, and my shift boot is getting worn anyways... thanks!

Nothing ever seamed to compair as far as control... kinda like holding a gun with good grips... :}

This guy I know has one on his FC.I hate how it looks because it looks like it belongs in a old school musle car but it dose feel real nice.


This is the shift knob I have in my car.Look ate the pic for about 30 seconds you'll see why after.

^I like it but it kind of reminds me of something.^

I have been looking for a new shift knob as well and since my brother has a metal one....I know which type not to get.

I've got a tobagen hat over mines. Tired of my hand getting burned when I left off of work. And its comfortable.

yea i agree, i have a custom homeade shortshifter lol, so that hurst is amazing, its so smooth, but i get tired of it every now and again so i go with the trd knob, which is my current, however i do like to mix it up quite often, i have about thirty shift knobs between my two vehicles

Hurst T-handle...but only on a vertical gate shifter (stick) or a ratchet (auto).

Just picked up a TRD one... it's pretty much the same as the stock one, which in my opinion is as good as it gets... will be getting a black boot soon too.

mine is out of an MR2 turbo (92 and up model) I love the way it sits, it's never too hot and it has a rubber sort of feel. It's top heavy and works really well.

TRD knob is heavier than stock, so it does help with shifting.

Real leather also doesn't get slick with sweat like fake leather or other surfaces...

 

[88mkIIIproject]

+1 TRD knob, i love mine

 

[giterboosted]

trd ftw, but jsut to clarify, earlier in the thread when i spoke of my hurst i meant the pistol grip not the t handle, you guys should try it

 

[JustinGotA1j]

I love my TRD shift knob. Too bad they cost ya through the ass and I've noticed that on abnormally hot days the trd decals start to get mushy from the glue getting soft.

 

[annoyingrob]

I love my TRD shifter too.

 

[suprarx7nut]

Ordered a TRD today.

Currently I have the stock knob without any of the leather that originally wrapped it.

Can't wait to install the trd!!! With empera's boots and the new knob, my interior will look shiney and new.
