OEM Automotive Shift Knobs

Whether it's mounted to the floor in front of your center console or part of the steering column, your shift knob goes by many names -- gear knob, gear shift knob, stick shift knob, or gear stick, to name a few. Either way, it's only one part of a shifter, and the latter, a part of the greater transmission system.

A shift knob has two jobs. One is to provide a better gripping surface than a bare gear lever. The other is to display the gears you can shift to and the shift directions (pattern) you need to follow to get there. You simply grab yours, press the clutch pedal (if your transmission is manual), pull the shifter in the right direction, and you can change gears.

It can be made of nearly anything you can imagine, from plastic or metal to carbon fiber, and covered with no-frills vinyl, premium leather, or another material. You can get a standard design from your brand or, in some cases, a special edition for select cars, trucks, and SUVs. Some shift knobs are even specially designed for performance vehicles. They can vary in shape, size, and even weight, too. A weighted shift knob, for example, can reduce both the time and the effort it takes to shift.

So, when do you change your shift knob? Put simply, when it gets either too frayed or worn, or when you want a change of style. Some knobs are a universal fit with the right adapter kit, but the best one to get is one custom-fit to manufacturer specs.
