Tuner's Secret

"Pro-Tip: Because this is a tall-style knob, it significantly increases shift leverage. This makes the transmission feel smoother but slightly increases the throw distance. It’s the preferred setup for drifters and touge runners who need the shifter closer to the steering wheel for rapid-fire dori transitions."

Knowledge Base

Is this 18cm Mugen Shift Knob compatible with my gated shifter?
While it fits most threaded shifters, we recommend checking clearance for gated manuals. The slim 33mm diameter is designed to be sleek, but the 18cm height requires a clear path through the gears.

Do I need any special tools for installation?
No special tools required! This is a direct replacement. Just unscrew your old knob, choose the correct adapter for your thread pitch, and screw the new aluminum unit on for instant street cred.

Will the aluminum get hot in the summer?
Aluminum does absorb heat, but the Neo Chrome and high-polish finishes help reflect UV rays better than standard black metal. For the ultimate 'cool' touch, we recommend a small tsurikawa or cover if parked in direct sunlight for hours.
