Shift Knobs
A shift knob is the grip on top of your gear lever or gear selector, so it is the part you touch on every gear change. This collection includes vehicle-specific and universal shift knobs from COBB Tuning, HKS, PERRIN, LEYO, GrimmSpeed and Spoon Sports. Options cover manual, DSG, automatic and CVT transmissions. Materials include carbon, stainless, billet, aluminium, Duracon, nappa leather and Alcantara. Browse more gearbox and driveline parts in our Drivetrain category.

Choosing the Right Part
-
Transmission type: Manual, DSG, automatic and CVT selectors each need the matching knob. LEYO lists DSG and manual versions separately. PERRIN offers dedicated automatic and CVT knobs for selected Subaru and Toyota models.
-
Number of gears: Subaru knobs are often specific to 5-speed or 6-speed gearboxes. COBB Tuning, for example, lists separate 5 Speed and 6 Speed versions, and HKS lists a 6MT knob for the WRX STI and Liberty.
-
Chassis code: Confirm your chassis code against the product title. Examples include Subaru GC, GD, GR, VA, VAB and VBH; Toyota 86 ZN6 and GR86 ZN8; Subaru BRZ ZC6 and ZD8; Honda Civic Type R FK8 and FL5; Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X CZ4A; Ford Focus ST/RS LZ and Fiesta ST WZ; and Mazda 3 MPS BK/BL and Mazda 6 MPS GG.
-
Thread and size: Where the listing states it, check the thread or size before ordering. Examples are the Spoon Sports Duracon knob (M10x1.5mm) and the HKS Subaru knob (47mm).
-
Height and feel: Choose between short, standard and tall knobs to suit your lever height and driving position. Weighted versions are also available.
-
Material and finish: Options include carbon, stainless, billet, aluminium, Duracon, nappa leather and Alcantara, with a range of leather colours and black or silver anodised finishes.
Installation & What You'll Need
Many shift knobs thread directly onto the gear lever. DSG and automatic selectors can involve more steps, so always follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific part. Check whether your knob needs a separate trim ring, adaptor or other component before you start, as stated in the product listing. Installation by a professional is recommended.
FAQ
Will a shift knob fit any car?
Not always. Many knobs are made for a specific make, model and gearbox. Always check the product title and listing for your chassis code, transmission type and thread size.
Can I use a manual shift knob on a DSG or automatic?
Choose a knob made for your transmission type. LEYO lists DSG and manual versions separately, and PERRIN offers dedicated automatic and CVT knobs.
What is a weighted shift knob?
A weighted shift knob adds mass to the top of the gear lever, which changes how each shift feels. COBB Tuning and GrimmSpeed both offer weighted options.
Are there different knobs for 5-speed and 6-speed Subarus?
Yes. Several Subaru knobs, including COBB Tuning models, are listed separately for 5 Speed and 6 Speed gearboxes, so confirm your gearbox before ordering.
