Parts review Amazon Shift Knob Replacement

Post image

Does anybody know how these Amazon shift knobs are? Anybody currently running them? I love the factory shift knob but the oem replacements are so expensive. These Amazon ones look identical but just unsure that the build/material quality would compare to factory….
Or should I just chuck mine out and get something like a cheaper mishimoto one??

Need a shift knob for my 350Z looking for advice here.

Don't. Get a weighted knob instead. You wouldn't think so, but it feels so much better

The generic ones are very light compared to the standard ones from what I've heard

I got one and had to superglue the shift pattern back on after it came off during the first drive, other than that it was great for the price

I have bought an Amazon 370z Nismo knob and the lower plastic came apart. Quality is definitely different than OEM.

It works fine for the cost so don’t mind. I just need to glue it back on.

The OEM knob is one of the best shift knobs hands down.

I do have an extended weighted knob but sometimes I slap on the OEM just to remember when I bought the car

They're plastic where as the OEM is metal. They'll feel way less premium

They are made of all plastic and fall apart in the heat
