DEWHEL's 2 1/8" black aluminum spherical shift knob with white engraved inlay is a 200-gram weighted short-throw replacement designed for 5-speed manual shifters, supplied with three threaded adapters for broad vehicle fitment.

Replace your factory shifter with a compact, weighted ball designed for quicker, more tactile shifts and a track-inspired look. Machined from quality aluminum and finished in black with a crisp white engraved pattern, this DEWHEL knob balances durability, feel, and visual style.

How will this shift knob change my shifting feel?

The 200-gram weight adds momentum to shifts, smoothing direction changes and reducing the small hesitations that can accompany light, short shifters. Because the design is compact and spherical, hand placement becomes intuitive and consistent shift throws feel firmer without extra travel.

• 200 g aluminum weight for inertia-assisted shifts
• 2 1/8" (approx.) diameter ball for confident palm contact
• Smooth machined surface improves hand grip and control
• Engraved pattern offers tactile reference for hand placement

Will it fit my car and how do the adapters work?

The knob threads onto the shifter via an M12x1.25 internal thread and includes three copper-threaded adapters to accommodate other common shank sizes. Adapters provided are M8x1.25, M10x1.5, and M10x1.25, making it compatible with a wide range of JDM and domestic manual cars that use these thread standards.

• Main thread: M12x1.25 built into the knob
• Included adapters: M8x1.25, M10x1.5, M10x1.25 for simple conversion
• Fits gated-style 5-speed shifters (not push-button automatics)

How do I install and care for this aluminum shift knob?

Installation is straightforward: select the correct adapter, thread it onto the shifter, then hand-tighten the DEWHEL knob until snug—do not force it against the shifter stop. For care, wipe with a soft cloth and mild cleaner; avoid abrasive polishes that could dull the engraved inlay.

• Select matching adapter and thread onto shifter shaft

• Clean with mild soap and soft cloth; avoid harsh abrasives
