BrownBoy Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 If ya have a 5 speed, any knob should work; I'm sure there are GT Momos available used, and if not, they are available new at the dealer..they run something like 80 bucks i think...

volcomst0ne24 Posted September 8, 2005 Author Share Posted September 8, 2005 i know any knob can work, im just wonderin if anyone has some pics of some nice ones that i could consider. are there any that have the gear diagram lit up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfd425 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Check the interior/aesthetics forum, I know there are some shift knob pics there. The Subaru Momo knob (which is optional on GT's) is available at dealers for $84, or possibly a little cheaper on eBay. I have it, and I like it a lot. Others have said it gets too hot in the summer and cold in the winter, but I've parked my car in the sun when it was 100 degrees out, and it was fine. I haven't had it in winter yet, though. Have you thought about installing a short-throw kit? It's a reasonably priced mod, and -- along with the Momo knob -- really improves the shifter feel, IMO.

mbacis Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Momo knob is $69.34 here. I have noticed it gets a bit hot sometimes, but nothing to be concerned about. Matches the interior very well, especially if you get the WRX pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne53 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 The momo knob gets untouchable if you leave it out in the sun..and it's not even all metal. I have a cloth sunglasses case I put over mine when it's going to be left outside. It's really big too..and I have big hands. If I could get another one I think it would be smaller. http://premium1.uploadit.org/tylerwayne//legac-012.jpg I also like the prova shift knob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I've been thinking about shift knobs too- I have the stocker as well as the Momo one and I'm bored with both- can we simply screw any shift knob on- are the threads the same on most shifters?

Thinking of just trading the MOMO for a stock? Better yet, scans007, where did you get the impreza knob? Looks smaller than stock GT knob too...

Better yet, scans007, where did you get the impreza knob? Looks smaller than stock GT knob too... That's one of the main reasons I got rid of it.......To hot in the summer, too cold in the winter. The impreza knob for me was a great compromise, and it's weighted, just feels perfect.......Go to a junkyard, find and impreaza and pull it off for 5 bucks, or call subaru it's like 50 bucks new....so worth it.... it's shorter then the stock nob but the top width is the same, just a diff angle....I love the all leather, goes great with the boot........took me forever to find it, but we all have our own tastes and like diff feels.....I drove it on PLteks' car....fell in love with it and had to have it....end of story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man- I just remembered that on my WRX I used a plastic bottle cap with a hole cut in the middle under the boot to hold it up to the shifter with an aftermarket MOMO.
