Looking for cool shifter knob for 2013 M6 - non threaded,....suggestions?? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Jonzmaro · 07-18-2013, 05:10 AM

I am not crazy about the leather shifter knob that came stock with my 2013 RS. It feels very light, and flimsy to me,.....and it almost makes a rattle-type sound when shifting. It just feels hollow and cheap, despite it supposedly being the ZL1 shift handle (?).

I am looking for a more substantial ball shifter with more weight/heft, and a larger surface area for my hand. I believe it is the collar/turn-on - non threaded type from what I have gathered from searches. (yes, I have searched)

Anyone know of a company making ones that fit the 13's??

Thanks all.

TWM has some great shift knobs and they make a real nice adaptor for our shifters.

Cool! Pricey, but cool.

Thank you....

Even better, replace the shifter. A nice DIY. Good value here:

I've been looking into getting a custom shift knob made. But now after driving my car for a while, I'm thinkin about getting a pistol grip handle.

Jonzmaro · 07-18-2013, 08:33 AM

I like the shape of the OEM handle, but it feels very light, and hollow. I was hoping not to have to spend over $100 on the handle, but it looks like TMW may be the only game in town on this. Might try their coated "hybrid", as I have had metal in the past.....did not like at all.

A good, ol' cue ball style, (a la Hurst) with the shift pattern is really what I am chasing. I am fine with the shifter itself, very smooth, haven't missed a quick-shift yet.

Try speeddawg.com they also have and adapter for out cars and they have the old school cue ball style as well.

my votes for speeddawg too, got my blue marble ball and etched the way I wanted it. and price is just right. they can make anything custom too.

PM me first if you decide to swap...I might be interested in buying your current knob.

Thanks!

I second Barton. Their pistol grip shift knob is very comfortable and is like the perfect size. It's surprising how much better feel I have with this pistol grip handle. It's made from a single piece of billet aluminum.

And the shifting is much improved over the sock shifter and you can adjust the throw to a very tight pattern.

i ordered the black six speed one, stands out but still looks like it belongs.

That a nice looking knob, I just bought the black hurst pistol grip off amazon. Hoping I like it. I was going to get a custom 45th logo shift knob but It wound up being more of a hassle. Have to contact Chevy for use of the logo........
