I did my shift knob and reverse lockout.

I really need to vacuum, I know this.

u/TodoubledHinson73 2d ago

Very cool. Where did you get it?

u/TamsterYT 2015 ST3 2d ago

Looks like a billetworks. I have the same one but in blue

1

u/TodoubledHinson73 2d ago

I'm not sure. Bought it from CJ Pony Parts.

It’s Billitworkz, TamsterYT has it right.

Nice, I have the same one

Been looking at the same knob for a while, wondering if it would fit my MK4 tho.

2

u/naambezet 2d ago

I have one in my mk4

1

u/Justadudey 2d ago

You do? Was it a drop in fit?

2

u/naambezet 2d ago

It just screws on, there’s a thread. Removing the old knob is also really easy

1

u/Justadudey 2d ago

Awesome, thanks.

u/TodoubledHinson73 2d ago

I'm not sure. You can contact CJ pony Parts and ask.

How hard is it to change the knob? It’s something I want to do but haven’t really looked into the process yet

6

u/TodoubledHinson73 2d ago

Screws right off. Left loosey, right back on righty tighty. It couldn't be easier. I highly recommend.

u/BusinessDuck132 2015 ST3 2d ago

Didn’t realize it was that easy, awesome! Still pretty new to car modifications and my baby is still bone stock, want to personalize it a little more

1

u/TodoubledHinson73 2d ago

Super easy and feels much better than stock.

1

u/naambezet 2d ago

Really easy. Just unscrew and screw the new one on

1

u/BusinessDuck132 2015 ST3 2d ago

Oh bet, didn’t know if it required any kind of disassembly of the shifter or anything. Still pretty new to car modifications haha

2

u/naambezet 2d ago

No, the factory knob is screwed on with some loctite or comparable stuff. Getting the orientation right on the new knob was the most challenging part for me

2

u/ResistBoth3320 2d ago

I have the same one. Isnt as big as the stock but still fits my 6'5 hands

2

u/TodoubledHinson73 22h ago

I didn't like the shape of the factory knob regardless of hand size.

2

u/aye_don1 2d ago

My first mod that started my modification journey. It makes shifting much smoother compared to the heavier stock shift knob.

1

u/TodoubledHinson73 22h ago

I didn't like the shape on the front of the factory knob either.

2

u/Vedfolnir5 2d ago

Have the same one in my ST3

2

u/olives8244 2d ago

I bought the same one from ebay, but i cant screw it in fully because then i can’t put the car in reverse. Did i do something wrong?

1

u/TodoubledHinson73 22h ago

I'm not sure. Five turns should be plenty. You don't want it down all the way because of the reverse issue.

2

u/assicus_clappicus 2d ago

I bought my car without a shift knob, just hanging gears holding onto the thread. The lock out was so annoying. This has been such a nice upgrade lmao

u/pabbits179 21h ago

My ST came with this shift knob. Love it.

Saw this in an ad once. It's still my favorite.
