Usually, you\u2019ll be able to screw on any universal-fit knob onto just about any manual transmission shifter. In some cases (usually with older vehicles), you may need to purchase an adapter kit if your universal-fit knob isn\u2019t fitting. Vehicle-specific knobs, however, will only work with the vehicles they\u2019re assigned to. Check with the product listing and do a little research to make sure that your knob-of-choice is compatible with your vehicle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Should I get a functional or novelty gear shifter knob?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It all depends on your preference. Either one will get the job of shifting your gears done, but the functional knobs are usually more ergonomic. On the other hand, novelty knobs come in all shapes and sizes, so some are easier to grip than others. If you\u2019re in the market for something more subdued and classic, go with a functional knob. For those looking to make a statement with their gear shifter knob, go with a novelty option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mishimoto MMSK-BK Weighted Gear Shift Knob Custom gear shift knobs are known for making big statements, but this one from Mishimoto stands out because of how understated it is.
