When I first got it and put it on it made me laugh every time I got in the car because it just looked so funny. I felt like a trucker with those huge shifters. But when I started to drive… my transmission has had problems (Scion FR-S, first gen BRZ problems), but I felt like a little more leverage helped just to get the damn thing into gear better. It was really enjoyable to drive with the stock shifter. It just felt good. I don’t really know how to describe it. Not sure how the 4 inch feels like, but to me the 2 inch has the correct height. (But if I had a friend with the 4 inch, I would try it immediately for the laughs.) The car is always fun to drive, but it freshened her up a bit. I wish I would have bought this sooner. But now I have on the Billetworkz short throw shifter… but you’ll have to wait for that review.
Overall: It looks great, makes the shifts feel good (maybe objectively, maybe subjectively), and it still makes me giggle when I “wake up” and go “oh yeah, this thing looks ridiculous and it’s fantastic”. Definitely worth the buy. It earns 5 stars with ease.
(Note: the picture is with the stock shifter. In my short shifter review, whenever that will be, I’ll post the picture with the red lockout on. Spoiler alert: it’s pretty damn sexy)
Much heavier than stock, about twice as heavy. Smooths out shifts and allows for shifting with more ease as these are very known for not being the smoothest gearboxes. Definitely recommend, regardless of the price tag.
The automatic shift knob was easy to install and looks fabulous… The workmanship is superb…
It’s a nice knob well weighted and a welcome upgrade from the stock aluminum fl5 knob. Makes shifting slightly smoother and faster. And with the leather mid section takes the sting out for the most part on a hot summers day.
Install was simple (many videos from
Billetworkz online, design is nice and smooth style is awesome love the product
The shifter knob arrived on time and was exactly as pictured. It was easy to install, 20 minutes. It is a well look compared to the original shifter.
Good quality for money and improves driving experience with a more weighted shifter
I didn't know what to expect with this shift knob, I really like it though, especially the way it feels in my hand and the added weight.
Ordered shift boot to match my new seats and it turned out perfect! Along with my shift knob from Bulletworks . Arrived sooner than expected. Will definitely use seller again . Attention to detail and quality of parts sets them apart from the competition
After installing and using this kit for few days, I must say, its a must have mod for WRX. Gears are perfectly notchy, very short, precise and fast shifts.
Overall parts quality is really good. Installation needs some moderate efforts. When you install short throw shifter, it will graze to cover plate underneath the gear stick. You just need to add spacers.
The only downside is you need little more force to shift the gears.
Very happy with my weighted shift knob from Billetworkz! It smoothed out the notchy shifter on the MT-82 6 speed transmission in my 2022 Mustang and works perfect with the factory reverse lock-out. Looks great also!!!
I thought the hoodie would just be uber cute BUT it is VERY functional. Living in Texas it can get very hot to handle, but now all I have to do is pull the hood up and keep rolling in style and comfort. I love it!
Had a Fitment issue. they managed to find exactly what I needed. Great product and customer service
The fitment is superb. The weight is amazing. Makes driving so much more fun. I highly recommend this product! Thank you BILLETWORKZ from me and my 2008 VE GTI Mk5!
