Spike3.0 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hi all, I've just got a manual Supra and its got a nasty chrome motorworld style Gear Knob on it. Does anyone have any recommendations for a replacement. Pics would be very nice too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Stock It's leather, very heavy (helps the feel somewhat), and doesn't freeze in cold weather or get too hot to touch in warm weather like the tat ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike3.0 Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 What about this one? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TRD-WHITE-GEAR-STICK-SHIFT-KNOB-TOYOTA-CELICA-SUPRA-MR2_W0QQitemZ250496170097QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item3a52bc3871&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 I like the feel of stock (had a feel of my mates) but fancy something a little different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Something taller works well as the throw becomes easier with a larger gear stick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 What about this one? I like the feel of stock (had a feel of my mates) but fancy something a little different Ghastly looking, but it shouldn't give the nasty heat issues you get with alu knobs. Something taller works well as the throw becomes easier with a larger gear stick Yes, but a longer shift and therefore slower change times. It's one thing I really disliked with the veilside shifter, it was a fair bit longer than stock, but although needed less effort to shift it took a noticably longer time to change gear. IMO Develop a stronger left arm if the stock one is too much work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm after a short shift kit for the car due to the long throw between gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C's Short Shifter for 1993-98 Supra 6-speed http://www.mvpmotorsports.com/Templates/frmTemplateM7.asp?SubFolderID=210&SearchYN=N http://www.mvpmotorsports.com/Merchant/catalog/jdm/t/supramkiv/p/cs/1-sm.jpg This is it! The ultimate short shifter for the Supra! This is the highest quality shifter money can buy and MVP Motorsports brought it back from extinction just for you! C's Japan had discontinued this shifter in 2003, but thanks to special negotiations by us it is now alive and available again. Why spend twice as much on this short shifter than its competitor? Simple - its the best. Best quality parts, shortest and most accurate shift available, and has never been known to break into 2 pieces like "some" shifters. This shifter not only retains the factory "reverse lock-out" feature, it comes with its own which is part of the reason it is expensive. Click here for a bigger picture. Note this is the exact shifter for the 1993+ Supra Twin Turbo 6-speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden1989 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I want a stock knob i have a plastic Celica one at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missile Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I have a veilside one. As above, It burns in the summer and freezes in the winter. Looks ok though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjavon Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Stock It's leather, very heavy (helps the feel somewhat), and doesn't freeze in cold weather or get too hot to touch in warm weather like the tat ones Totally agree, had a cheap ripspeed one on mine when i bought it so replaced it with a momo one but while i was messing about taking the dash panel off i put the worn stock one on so as not to scratch my momo knob:blink: but I've left the stock one on now as it feels much better. That's my opinion anyway, just need a new stock one now:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
