alex0856 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Alright. I've got the OEM shift knob. I like the look of the Momo knob but haven't used one. The question is, how do others who have used both feel about it? Vote up top! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leviman Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I was going to change my shift knob in my car, but then I ended up liking my stock one and it's stealthy look so much, I just left it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPooky_leggy Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I have a momo on my spec b and i like how your palm fits perfectly and comfortable on it! i tried the stock one and it felt cheap and not in line with the interior of the vehicle,but that's just my opinion of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lingling1337 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The 5 speed sti knob is great and you can get it from the dealership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akasa Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 WC Lathe Werks. I like my Anarchy Motive, but it's too heavy for me, I want something more around the area of 300 grams as opposed to 670 grams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex0856 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Interesting. I didn't know that the weight of the knob affects so much. I'm looking at their site, under Legacy they only have Si Drive knobs. I'm guessing all of the WRX knobs fit our cars though. Any specific recommendations?

Dujo Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The Momo is nice. I rocked it for about 9 years. It's got a really nice shape and feel. Unfortunately, It does not wear too nicely in the long term. Eventually, the Momo logo will come off because your hand will eventually wear down the glue holding it on. That said it took years for that to happen. It also will show scuffing from buildup of abrasive substances. It's just a little tough to keep clean so that doesn't happen since it's got all those circular dimples and transition between leather and metal. But still, Momo over stocker for shape and feel, easily. That said, I now have a Killer B shift knob made from Delrin and it is superior in every way. Enjoy!

Akasa Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Correct. All WRX knobs fit the 5MT. "All Subaru 5-Speed Manual Cars - Select "WRX" (The 2015+ WRX 6-speed uses STi knobs ONLY)" - Lathe Werks Weight affects the performance massivly. My Anarchy Motive knob has taken all of the notchyness and sloppyness out of the transmission, as opposed to the stock pistol grip knob. Style of knob is something you'll really want to look at too. Do you prefer a cylinder / pistol grip style? a sphere? some hybrid? It varries person to person, and can make a world of difference as to how you drive your car.

I've bought 3-4 over the years for the knob in my WRX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboboost Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Anarchy Motive Mammoth. Best weighted shift knob out there. Especially for those with larger hands. Everything else just feels insubstantial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen them in other cars looking really nasty before. I have average sized hands and skinny fingers. I might just buy up a couple and try them out and return whatever I don't like. Thanks all!

NewLegGT67 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 In almost 9 years I've tried about 6 shift knobs. My Momo is my favorite because of the size and weight. I also prefer a ball grip because your hand can be on the top or on the side while shifting. I would love to have a pool ball size knob made of delrin. I'm probably the only person that has Wu-Tang Clan and Paul McCartney on their mp3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that is exactly what the Cobb Knob is. I like mine. http://www.extremepsi.com/store/images/D/214X01P-10.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to check the measurements of both knobs. I'm probably the only person that has Wu-Tang Clan and Paul McCartney on their mp3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
