GTSpecB Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Any one got the Momo (manual) shift knob? What difference are the one from the Subaru dealer? Does it says Subaru on the knob just like this one in the picture? Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewGTGuy Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Mine is the same as pictured above and it IS a screw on. Feels great. NGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoldonSubie Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 I bought the Subaru MOMO knob from ny dealer. In general it is very nice. I like the ball compared to the stock knob. Installation is a snap. Just screw it on. Also, very important, the boot snaps into place on the bottom of the knob. HOWEVER, the aluminum knob SUCKS when it sits in the sun. I FRIED :o my hand so much I took it off and returned it. Then I purchased the all leather version of the same knob from an internet parts company. That one DOES NOT screw on and there is no provision for the boot which just sort of sits there. :cry: I didn't like that either so it's back to the stock knob for now.

Euclid Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 yup same as pictured.. and as SoldonSubie said, if it sits in the hot sun all day you're gonna burn your hand. I put a glove over it while I'm at work, and it's not as hot when I come out.

Or sticking the glove over it. Seems kind of silly but I REALLY like the knob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mines Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 it prob is a screw-on, whoops. i only had my momo shifter for a few hours, then i put on my Nardi Sphere and sold the momo to my friend (who drives an AUDI!?!?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Hmm yes, its a bit of a generic thing, the can buy the same directly from MOMO themselves, just Subaru doing a bit of co-branding. Mines re the Nardi Sphere, do they come in different colours to the one u got and do they have a website ???? Thanks Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mines Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 [url]http://www.fet-japan.co.jp/nardi/index.html[/url] the real site is an italian one, but i forgot where it is. Here is the official Japanese one. Most of these products are for vintage cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcin Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I like the shift knob, I used to have a Momo ball (non subaru) on my RS untill my friend tried to unscrew it and shreded the tread. (idiot) I think youll find yourself cleaning the top metal portion of it alot, as dirt and dead skin deposit in the 6 little holes there. Nothing a q-tip cant help. The only downside with this one was the pop on know, sat really low on the short shifter and i found myself missing shifts constantly. :oops: I just ordered a Subaru momo for my sisters WRX. It's going to look sweet. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest turboman Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 To hold up the leather skirt up under your Momo knob just wrap about 10-15 layers of electrical tape just below the shift knob. Put enough on so the boot will slide up tightly. It'll stay up. What I'm thinking of doing is cutting a couple inches off the top of the shifter and then putting on the Momo. Nice short shifter alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
