i bought one off of ebay a while while ago, it works fine. it was the one that was threaded to our shifter though. hasnt came off and stays pretty tight.

Mostly ebay parts. just went over 1000 miles since rebuild, and still running great. Ebay's been good to me.

I bought one just like it a few weeks ago but from a different seller. excellent fit. I havnt had any problems with ebay, I dont know what I would have done without ebay for my used supra parts.
The part number is legit. If it's a knock off its a good one!

It's not cheap enough that I'd consider it fake. It's about normal price for those knobs.
Looks real.

Would it really matter if it's a knockoff, if it works good? I mean, it's not a critical part we're talking about here.
To be honest ebay it not that bad if you get the ss treat it right and it will treat you right poeple dog ebay.But if you beat up on the thing you get from ebay yeah it's gonna break.Just like the other band's It's just some brands can take aliltte more of a beating.

Well, its like buying any other name brand thing. You can go buy a cheapo auto zone shift knob and have it function just the same as a legit TRD knob. The issue is the quality in it, when I think knock off I think fake leather and poor stitching. Or, maybe the TRD emblem falling off the first use or something.

What I mean is if you look closely the "T.R.D. Source one is just "T.RD." in red letters, and the ebay one's has the "T.R.D." flag and "T.R.D. not just "T.R.D. in red, that doesn't mean it's a knock off since I don't know how many differnt style's "T.R.D. offer's.....no I not saying it's a knock off, just says there' two different styles.
P.S. I just bought the ebay one.
yea he beat me to it, i was about to say that the only difference in the older and newer ones is the pennant on the side
