Pits Notes
"Pro-Tip: For a truly dialed-in fitment, ensure you thread the adapter onto the shifter rod first before securing the knob. This prevents cross-threading and ensures your 5-speed pattern is perfectly aligned with your dashboard for that hellaflush interior look."
Pit Lane
Does this require modification to my car?
Not at all. This is a direct installation that requires no modification to your shifter rod; just swap the old knob and go.
Will this fit my itasha or drift build?
Yes! The universal fitment and race-inspired design make it a sick addition to any cockpit, regardless of your car's stance or style.
How does the weighting help with shifts?
The added mass creates inertia during the gear throw, helping the transmission 'gate' more smoothly during rapid-fire shifts near the redline.
