2020 shift knob installed

[makanouchi]

A good bit heavier than stock 2017 knob. Shape for me feels better than the standard sphere. I'm a fan.

It looks like a Carbonzone Poland wheel.

Edit: added link. If you want the shift knob, ask a Honda dealership. I'd also suggest the new locking nut (that requires the new shift boot) if you go that route though. At minimum I'd recommend a new locking nut that is much shorter than stock. With the stock locking nut, the knob simply has a very long throw :/

I agree the 2020 knob feels better than the 2017-2019. I have the 2020 alcantara boot and shift nut on order.

I have the boot on order too. For the past few days, I snuck a ⅛" thick 10x1.5 nut between the knob and the new lock nut to keep it up when I used the new knob. But not anymore since I sent the knob out to Sweidit to wrap in leather while I wait for the shift boot.

Please post pictures when you receive it back. How long is the wait? That’s an interesting mod!

I'll post pictures whenever it gets back to me. I'm actually not sure what it'll look like when its done. I guess I'll find out, but no more hot summer knob Also no ETA for it to get back, Sweidit sometimes gets bogged down with work, but sometimes has very fast turnaround.

What’s the weight difference compared to the old standard sphere one?

8.1oz vs 4.9oz if memory serves.

Edit: went back and checked, numbers above are correct. Accessory knob is about 5.7oz.

Oh wow, that’s actually a bigger difference than I expected.

The press release did say they added a 90g counterweight to it.

Anyone running the 2020 shift knob with a Mugen or HR short shifter?

 

[makanouchi]

I didn't go the factory lock but route as I already had the acuity boot collar and lock nut. With the acuity full shifter, the stick knob felt light, felt the improvement immediately with the heavier new knob. Current setting:t at longest, height at shortest and gate in the middle. The hight feels good and bonus looks good too.
