Skunk2 M10 x 1.5 6 Speed Billet Shift Knob Reviews

Only reason I didn't give five stars was because the shift numbers don't line up when you screw it in . Then again I have a buddy club short shifter other than that great product .

This knob feels great, only downside is that it gets extremely hot in the summer, even with my windshield screens in sometimes it's barely touchable.

i have bought two of these shift knobs. the first on a year ago for my friend. and the recent one for me. the one i bought for myself is a bit darker than his, which i like, and also, it has swirls on top where the red numbers are that weren't there when i first got it. over time seems like more appear. i don't know why but it does and it makes it look like they are scratches. really bothers me because that never happened to his. i guess i got unlucky... anyways its a good shift knob bc its heavy and feels a lot better when you shift.

Good overall shift knob. Quality construction and nice visual appeal. Nicely weighted to help shifts with the short throw. The only problem is it gets a little cold. Would buy again if stolen.

I switched this out from my scratched up stock one and noticed the difference immediately. It weighs quite a fair bit, since it is steel. As the previous reviewer stated, it can get hot or cold, but most of the time for me it stays at a reasonable temperature. It has a nice texture, looks good, and the weight makes your shifts feel purposeful and its easier to "throw". It tucks in real well with the stock shifter, take off the boot from your old one by pulling down, get the one and put the bolt on nearly as far down as you can, then get the knob and push it down and align it while tightening it how you want and the boot will just stick right in with the bolt covering everything up. You are left with a smooth shifter connected to your boot. The biggest disadvantage to me is not the hot or cold, but rather it isn't an ergonomic shift knob, which doesn't bother me that much, but it would be a plus.

While I enjoyed the feel and weight of the shift knob it does have several draw backs. Since the shifter is made of steel it has the tendancy to either fry or freeze your hand. In the summer if I parked in the sun for more than 30 minutes I'd come back and burn my hand. In the winter a good investment would be gloves of some sort considering the shifter is almost always freezing. If you live in a pretty mild climate or are using the Skunk2 knob on a car that isn't daily driven I'd give the product 5 stars. Otherwise because of the drawbacks I am only giving it 4.
