Shift Knob Options for freezing hands!
Alright so its getting cold outside, my metal shift knob is freezing cold!!!
I can't stand it anymore so I tried finding a solution.. I've come across a few plastic knobs but they weren't weighted... Stumbled on a half aluminum, half Derlin shift knob that is actually weighted and looks pretty sweet! http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftkn...d-phantom.html My lucky day that they are actually hosting a group buy on some other forums with this shift knob. Email them for some more info and how to participate! |

I use an unweighted delrin knob, no issues with shifting.

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. -C

It was at my dealer. If I can find my old knob that I put in the parts bag, I'll get the number for you.

Garm has Delrin knobs and they are great in summer and winter.Also doctorisotope.com makes them as well in several sizes and shapes and weights.

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.

Part numbers are pretty easy to look up if you know where to look (toyotapartszone.com, villagetoyotaparts.com, toyodiy.com) and spend some time learning how the parts diagrams are organized.
3 minutes on toyotapartszone came up with 33504-12300-B1 as being on both the xB and Matrix. There are 2 options available, so be sure to specify that you want the "special edition" or "dark grey trim" version. The stock non-ball one is part# 33504-12430-B0 (I think). *edit* now I'm running in circles trying to find pics of them... Here's the knob in the '09-ish Matrix, looks an awful lot like the one above: Here's the stock non-ball type, still not sure of part#, but probably the -B0: Last edited by CrankyOldMan; 12-24-2011 at 11:37 AM. |
