I would like to replace the black leather M knob in my 98ti Sport. If you have a picture of your knob and recommend it, post a pic for us to see. I have had several Momo knobs in previous cars, but was thinking of going for this set from UUC motorwerks: RK Shadow Knob requirements: - Must be able to get matching eBrake - Must be shorter than stock - Should not be overly susceptible to temp change (freezing cold in winter, etc.) I would love to hear your thoughts... __________________

Put this Momo in last summer, along with an Z3 M shifter. Really short throw, very happy. http://www.geocities.com/l84thsky/3rdGear.JPG Quote: | Originally Posted by gadgetphreak I would like to replace the black leather M knob in my 98ti Sport.

i swapped out the OE vinyl knob for a maple one (stripped/sanded/painted black) that i got from a friend. i really don't like the squishy feel of the leather wrapped ones, and it cools down pretty quick when hot. feels better, IMO. | | | | | 01-26-2005, 05:13 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 |
Wassa Matta.............you don't like my knob.....  Personally, I don't like the "chicken bone" or "golf club" looking knob. I prefer symetrical knobs. Quote: | Originally Posted by gadgetphreak Nobody else has a pic of your Shift Knob? | __________________

 Dude, I ain't dissin yo knob so chill... I am just about choice, gotta have choices... I like symmetrical knobs as well, however the last couple I have had have been all aluminum and would get hot to the touch after long drives or in the summer... And freezin in the winter. I think the symmetrical knob may not fit as well in the ti interior... that is why I wanted to see some pics. __________________

I like the look of that, my only concern is using a knob that connects via the allen screw...
Have you noticed any play in the knob when you drive? __________________
