Shakotan Soul Story
Inspired by the dirt-sprayed pits of Ebisu and the high-performance sequential shifters of the circuit, this 80mm tall profile is engineered for the driver who lives at the redline. Whether you're building a gritty Kanjozoku track weapon or a high-end Itasha show car, the aluminum manual shift knob with adapters brings the knob closer to the steering wheel, reducing hand travel time during a bunta drive or aggressive dori session. It’s a clean mod that speaks volumes—perfect for achieving a dialed-in interior stance that stands out from the standard Kyusha and Bippu builds. The solid billet construction adds the necessary weighted feel to carry momentum through the gates and eliminate stock plastic slop.

Garage Mechanic Briefing
Will this fit my car's shift lever?
Yes, this gear knob is designed for universal fitment. We include three adapters (8mm, 10mm, 12mm) to cover the most common JDM thread pitches.
Is any modification required for installation?
None at all. This is a direct replacement of the original shift knob; simply remove your stock head and screw this weapon on.
How does the 80mm length affect shifting?
The extended length provides much better leverage than stock shifters, which is ideal for short shifter setup builds to smooth out that mechanical notchiness.
