Guy looking for OEM B13 SE-R shift knob:
http://www.sr20-forum.com/g-spec-performance/77365-leather-shift-knob.html

I'd put him onto this excellent Razo weighted knob:
Amazon.com: RAZO RA68A Palm Grip Shift Knob, 400g: Automotive

Maybe someone could relay it to him?

It's always looked a little funny to me, but it feels _much_ better than the factory knob, I've used one for the last 5-6 years, and it has held up great and feels just right to the hand. Only thing is, it doesn't encase the shifter shaft as far down as does the OEM, so you need to wrap some sort of retainer around the shifter to hold the top of the boot up against the bottom of the Razo. The stock boot has plenty of slack to do this, though.

I bought one of the last OEM's from GregV around the same time, but found the Razo looked and felt nicer. Also, my '92 had the original black-black knob, but the OEM I got from Greg was a more of a dark charcoal leather rather then black. Pair the Razo with a red-stitch Redline boot, and you're in R-type heaven. I've kept the OEM knob in the event I decided to OEM the shifter, but I'm thinking I will eventually sell it.

@clean_classic
There, now he knows.

Personally, I'm a Momo Anatomico (long) kind of person.

I had a Greddy shift knob and went back to a stock one. Yes, to me, the Greddy looked good, see pic, but just as Clean Classic is doing I'm trying to get as much back to stock as possible. Keeping a few go fast and handling goodies in the process...

Stock rocks socks.

P.S. I got an OEM shift knob from a dealer using my VIN last November. I dunno how they are no long available.

I've had my Momo Alurac for so long that it feels like a stock part.



I know way back when, a bunch of forum members bought stock leather Mitsubishi shift knobs on eBay for a good price, but I can't remember the sellers' name.
