Construction & Design

The shift knob is crafted from premium 304 stainless steel, known for its strength, corrosion resistance, and longevity. Each knob undergoes precision CNC machining to ensure exact dimensions and a flawless surface finish. The powder-coated exterior not only adds a visually appealing color accent but also provides additional protection against wear and environmental factors. The short teardrop shape is specifically engineered to clear the factory’s large reverse lockout, ensuring full functionality without sacrificing style or comfort.

The added weight of the knob enhances the shifting feel by increasing momentum during gear changes, resulting in smoother, more deliberate shifts. This design consideration benefits both daily drivers and off-road enthusiasts who demand reliable and tactile gear engagement.
