For a shift knob?

M.P. Cobra Fan · November 20th, 2010, 11:08 AM

OUCH! I would rather spend $34 on a pool cue retro style and save the rest of the money for hookers, coke, and beer.

mk1993 · November 20th, 2010, 12:19 PM

^ yulp yulp, ive got a thread in the 2011+ tech section about this knob if you want to check it out.I thinks its cool but not $200 cool lol

SlowSix · November 20th, 2010, 12:47 PM

It's pretty cool but I doubt I'd spend $200 on one. If I had a lot of money to blow I guess. And I was already done modding my car otherwise.

6ixer · November 20th, 2010, 01:38 PM

Like I said is it "cool" and not stupid idc about the 200.00 stupid I was leaning towards stupid looking or not the norm but yea I agree 200.00 is up there but I'm not doing much modding when I get it well nothing to $$$$ in the short run....

i mean.... anyone who knows how to drive stick should know what gear youre in lol. come one now. it looks cool but unnecessary.

Six Banger · November 20th, 2010, 05:59 PM

How does it know what gear youre in?

It does look cool but I completely agree. I could tell you what gear my car is based on speed/RPM, not to mention shifting just becomes second nature after a while. For a beginner this would be a cool idea, but an expensive way to learn. I used to have a 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse with a tiptronic transmission that kept track of what gear you're on the instrument panel (digitally).

You have to wire it up to the transmission or something. I glanced over the install guide when the first listed it on their site.

Looking at the instructions, you have to program it...the computer learns the position of each gear when you do so.

V8POWA! · November 20th, 2010, 06:54 PM

yeah like everyone said, cool, but not for 200$

wonder if there is a digital thing for an automatic like gague or something. anyone? not a knob, but something that just tells you what gear your in...

Yea thts why I'm asking opinons I mean it looks cool like its been said and yes ik its 200.00 but then again why not lol

Also for the record (jus striaghtning it out) I get the feeling ppl don't think ik wat gear I'm in or no how to drive stick lol

I can drive stick decently I'm not expert I drive my dads f150 and tths a five speed stick I stall it once in a blue moon...

mp4 player · November 20th, 2010, 08:51 PM

I really don't like it at all. The concept is pointless(you always know what gear you're in anyways) and it way over-complicates one of the simplest parts of your car, the shift knob.

Why not? -Because the opportunity cost. That $200 could go toward a lot of other actually useful upgrades.

My shifter knob ATM.

(dash is back to black now, And I have better mats btw.)

GreenMustang00 · November 21st, 2010, 01:41 AM

Dude what gear am I in?

Spend the 200 on a SCT handheld for sure

I'm sure there's something out there that could do that. It probably wouldn't be the most popular item on the market so it might take some digging to find it (you'd probably have to go with a universal one). If you can dream something up (that would actually work on a car) then someone out there can make it.

Stalling is for newbies who don't like the gas pedal

I've stalled my Mustang maybe 3 or 4 times, all when I was learning to drive it. A buddy of mine just got a 96 F150 with a 4.9L straight 6 and a 5 speed transmission. He's new to driving a stick and it was funny as hell watching him try to drive it. He never wanted to give it much gas so takeoffs were always jerky and he hadn't gotten the hang of rev matching so downshifts were rough

Autozone. But I fixed it to be threaded instead of the POS setscrew.
