magnus617 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 i cant believe i'm the only one interested in a at knob! never, under any circumstances, take sleeping pills at the same time as a laxative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasopoliS Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 i cant believe i'm the only one interested in a at knob! I will probably design an AT knob... but I am not sure what you guys are looking for. A round design? More of a 'shaft' design? I am putting an order through for the MT knobs soon, so those will be available and priced VERY well I hope to piggy back this order with a couple AT design prototypes... so I need input regarding this.

CDN 2.5i Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Any ability to modify (ever so slightly) the MT knob design at this stage? Its the knob to boot interface that I'm concerned about - the square edge on the knob. I recognize the Momo looks exactly the same but I wonder if you couldn't round that edge slightly to ease the visual transition to the boot? I think this point may have been raised either in this thread or the other but I think it will have more appeal and a more finished look with this treatment, if it's still possible? Looking forward to the production going forward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to the production going forward! The newest design that I am having made DOES have a radius here... my previous prototypes did not. This will help with strength here too, though its not much of an issue. One thing I have noticed is the variation in shift boots here. Some are wrapped tighter around up top, while some are not. The curved edge will help with this. GREAT idea.... (great minds think alike ) !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praedet Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Any chance of the heavy one ever making production? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasopoliS Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Any chance of the heavy one ever making production? I think only if its all metal. Maybe I can make a metal knob, and have nice 'booties' made for them that get rid of heat when the car sits in the sun. A pure, solid, stainless steel knob would be sweet.... if I could keep it the right temp. I wonder what they would cost.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasopoliS Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 I created a webpage with designs I completed today. I still need to review the design concept, but I would love to hear your thoughts on what you see here.... http://www.casopolis.com/products/subaru_shift.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGT Dave Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 That's awesome. I'm definitely in for one of those. One question - will there be something that keeps the delrin shell from rotating freely around the inner core? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDN 2.5i Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Great idea. Will the outer be keyed to the inner? I don't think I would want anything that would spin... and to have the circlip tight enough might make assembly a biatch. What are your thoughts on a cover for the hole on top? Would there be one? If there is, how do you remove the cover once installed without damaging the recess? A small black rubber "button" would probably work and could be carefully picked out with a razor blade or the like... but to find the right bit might be a challenge... I'm still interested in as short a total height for the MT as possible too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasopoliS Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 If you want a shorter knob, what you really need is a shorter lever. You can only lower it so much.... This threads all the way down to there the shaft is just below the top of the knob. Get a short-throw shifter lever if you want something shorter.... or use a die to shorten your stock shaft. The sleeve will rotate.... which I would not mind when shifting fast. I can look into keying it..... but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDN 2.5i Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I've got a short throw shifter now, and I think the height is shorter than stock but I'm keen on your shorter ball design - as long as it's lower overall than the stock unit I'm a happy camper.
