Default shift knob threads...

i want a differnet shift knob (anything but stock)..preferably weighted..however last time i tried to get different shift knobs the last two had to be installed by using the 3 or 4 tiny screws at the base of it..problem with that is that over time of shifting fast and hard they get torn up..So basically, i'm looking for knobs that actually have the honda/acura (are they the same?) threading that can actually SCREW on not just put on top and screw in through the sides....any vendors/sites/sugestions would be greatly appreciated

you want a weighted shift knob. go on ebay and look for type R shift knobs, the ones that screw on. either that or you can get a weighted skunk2 shift knob and those screw on.

I bought a B&M shift knob which came with urethane inserts. When you installed the knob, the urethane was cut by the shifter's threads for a perfect fit. And because it's urethane, it maintained the fit.

On the other hand, I bought an Ebay type R replica before and the threads sucked.

B&M is a good way to go.
