6speed Shift Knob, what's everyone using?

MisterClutch888 · 02-17-2022, 11:47 AM

I have a Renown shift knob with the set screws, it come loose so often that I just have to go back to the stock gooseneck knob. The set screws style knob is so garbage.

Having said that, im now looking for OEM push on style knob, what would you guys recommend? Or knob that has some sort of adapter to change the push on style to Thread on.

This is going to pair with my Auto Solution short shifter kit. So far, i had the "Little Nicky" from bimmerworld or the M performance one in my mind.

I have a Raceseng Signature knob in both my cars, high quality and I love the weight.

If you feel like going almost all out, the RTD shifter is amazing. (CAE shifter would be all out IMO). Went from stock to M5 weighted to this and never looking back.

I understand that. For the first few months, I was a little upset I did it to my daily. After a while, it became natural and I love it.

I have an Auto Solutions set up with a ZHP knob. This has a height increase of 1". This set up is from the previous owner. I don't mind it but I prefer the lower look (aesthetically) of the shifter as opposed to being it higher. The M performance set up has caught my eyes of late. A couple of questions with that. Is there any way to lower my current set up or will I need to buy a completely new package from Auto Solutions? Secondly, how does the M performance knob/set up compare to the ZHP with regards to weight and overall feel? Ideally I would like to do an M performance set up with an alcantara boot. I believe Mashimaro has this set up for sale for the e9x M3.
