I like this OEM replacement. $37 from Toyota. Cold day in hell before I shell out $150 for a knob. It's the weighted knob from a 2011 Scion xB. Meant to make a thread about it a few weeks ago but forgot.

I think it's awesome. It's esentially a nicer chrome and metal version of the knob that comes stock with '09+ Yarii. Screwed the old knob off, screwed this one on. Perfect compatibility.





Not too cold in winter, but I don't know about heat yet. It hasn't been 100+F out yet, but summer time will definitely put it to the test.

Yeah, they're called Shifties. Pretty clever little things.

Wow, that is pretty nice. Wish I had a dealership where there were cool things to buy just out in the open!

You should be able to go to any Toyota dealer and request a 'shift knob for '11 xB' and they'll be able to get it. It might take a day or two, but just because it's not sitting on a shelf in the parts area doesn't mean they can't get it.
