Shifter Knob-What are you running?
 

So with 90K miles my knob is starting to look rough. Honestly its the only thing that shows any type of wear in my interior. Should I stick with an OEM knob? Its pretty light and I was sure a weighted knob would really help shifting. There is a FAT weighted one on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/M1-Ab...#ht_4695wt_941
But its not cheap and I am afraid an aftermarket will interfere with the reverse lock out.

A new OEM knob will look fantastic. $60. Here's a pictures of old vs. new:

this thread needs scottwax to chime in with his T shifter lol

I should treat myself to a new OEM one. It looks great in Rochester's pic.

just ordered the oem 6 speed knob yesterday for 50 bucks..Almost every aftermarket knob i've seen in a 5th gen doesn't look right.

i thought it was funny when i saw it so i saved it..props to him for being different!

I'm running a stock knob...BUT...it looked pretty bad when I got it. So...I peeled all of the leather off of it. :D

Where did you get a stock 6 speed knob for $50...?

I work for a cadillac dealer that has a sister Nissan dealer up the street so i get some sort of discount on parts and service thank god,Im not sure how much they go for regular but mines worn out and needed it and i didn't want a T handle..it's like a pontiac fiero...it's unique but id never buy one because it's :007:

Will the 2002 2003 maxima 6 speed shift knob work on 2000 2001 5 speed shifter?

^^lol the AE knob is ugly as fuk!

first person to ever say that :o

:sprint:

The AE shift knob is the wart on an otherwise beautiful car.

If it were mine, I'd delete that thing ASAP.

bahahha, i like my AE knob...

lol..we are at 3 and counting :p

Here, I fixed it for you. Although it's probably going to take some getting used to.

:hide:

Probably going to grind Reverse a few times, but 5MT is so 1990.

how can something so wrong be so funny :laugh:

I definitely need to order me a new OEW one...mine is literally all black now and the leather outer pieces are long gone so the whole shifter is gloss black lol. It honestly doesn't look bad but the center piece is loose

Bahaha. ~

That's the biggest issue with mine at 104k. I will be replacing it with a new OEM one for sure.

mine is not too bad, but when the time comes, i will replace with an OEM one for sure.

i was using a Nismo GT titanium shift knob.

nice clean Max!!!

Did it get scratch easily? Was that knob weighted?

from normal use? no. it could get scratched up if you have a ring on your fingers. mine get scratched (very very tiny. you will notice it if you look at it from 10 inches away) from a screw driver which i drop it while i was changing my map light bulb.

Titanium finish, weighted knob on the 5MT... I like that better. On the 5MT.

After years of watching (and occasionally searching) for a better-than-stock knob on the 6MT, I've come to the conclusion that there isn't one.

i use to have an AE shift knob, but i have my Ralco weighted shift knob since i did my STS

I found out the other day that the R34 skyline has the exact same shifter knob as the 5.5gen...

I got rid of my AE shift knob also, in favor of a weighted Sparco shift knob.

OEM 5.5. Nothing else fits the car better.

+1 on OEM 5.5 gen knob. Definitely one of my favorite looking shift knobs in the cars I've driven.

Interesting to know it was in the R34 as well.

The AE knob looks Okay, but i don't think its as nice as the 5.5 gen knob.

OEM 5.5 AUTO shift knob FTW! :hide: :laugh::laugh::laugh:

+1..but it looks way better on a short shifter.

Joel, there appears to be only one gear on your shift knob.

Whats the L stand for ????

Probebly "lose" lol..... Moncef had a different looking shift knob and also rood.... I was stuck on the OEM shift knob also but I think I wanna give something else a shot but like somebody said, I'm not sure how the reverse it gonna work, I thought I was gonn see a plethera of. Shift knobs instead I sawlike 3 lol...

low

Ah. So THAT's what the previous owner tossed out in order to add the piece-o-crap that I took out?!

I just put in a snazzy $12 universal from Advance Auto... a titanium and carbon-fiber looking roundish thing with chrome hex screws.... Looks nice, feels nice (unless it's HOT!) but it's come loose on me TWICE already in a week! "Universal" my .......
