Shifter Knob Opinions Please

[Rygy04]

I am growing to hate the stock knob in my Terminator.

I know there are numerous options out there for all different prices.

I would appreciate a veterans opinion on this subject considering I have only owned the car 4 months and am starting the modding this week.

Thanks fellas.

Here you go. Anything you could possibly imagine. I had one made a few years back with a pin I found in it.

MGW makes high quality pieces. I went with the composite knob and don't really have any complaints.

This:

CLASSIC SHIFTER KNOB, WHITE – 6-SPEED, MUSTANG | Hurst Shifters :: Automatic Shifters, Manual Shifters, Paddle Shifters, Shifter Knobs and Handles

Fat ball shifter acts like a heim joint not needing to bend your wrist and feels "correct" no matter how you grab it :banana:
(no road racer would want to be caught without one)

White: first thing that catches the corner of your eye when looking for it :rockon:

Plastic: won't soak-up heat like a sponge in the hot sun like aluminum will and burn your hand :coolman:

If there is a better shifter knob I haven't found it.

I also have the mgw composite race knob and love it. Much more comftorable than the stocker.

I have a 10th anni knob, stock FTW IMO. I'll never switch it.

That white hurst is badass. Love the plain but clean look of it.

Awesome guys, thank you for your input on such a small item.

But it is surprising how much it makes a difference. If your grabber hand is not happy then it messes your whole damn ride it seems like.

Ive always liked the stock Bullitt shift ball but its not easy finding a real one!

Even the stock shift knob is awkward if you don't grab it right :nonono:

MGW Composite all the way. My buddy has one on his terminator and I loved it when I drove it. Once I got my car that was one of the first mods I did to the car.

I always liked my black Fat Knob, but I don't think they're in business any longer. The website is gone. MGW has some nice knobs and they're well made. I would start with MGW.

I have a small upr billet knob with a flat top, I love it! The stocker would tighten too far and not sit straight so I got a round one with no markings on it, can't go wrong.

I loved the white knob with black rally stripes and cobra on the sides. It was on the speed dawg site. I was going MGW myself after installing their shifter. But I really like this other one now. Anyone using those knobs here?

 

[Bdubbs]

I prefer the stock one myself. I tried a roush shift knob which is like the steeda round grip ones. Didn't care for it and now it sits on a shelve.

 

[MoKo_03SVT]

what DONT you like about the stocker? is it looks? how it feels? err wha?

personally, i like the looks of the stocker...if i ever did change it out, i would prob go with the "fu©kin fast" shifter/knob...even though it basically looks just like the stocker. haha.

im sure you have seen those, havent you? dont like those either?

 

[Rygy04]

Lots of options here.....

I want one with no marking on it because the stock one never seems to stay straight.

I am probably going with the Hurst or a black Ford oval one....

Thank you guys.

Good thread..

The stock one looks the best but it has plastic inserts that brake after a few hard shifts & just spins around! You need A 2" ball with A locking jam nut

My favorite, glad I have two of them:
