These shift knobs extenders are a necessity for comfortable and ergonomic shifting. The added height allows for a shorter reach from the steering wheel to the shift knob and also allows for more leverage when shifting. These extenders perform even better with an installed short shifter!
Each Extender is CNC machined, polished, and anodized for a perfect, scratch-resistant finish.
Confirmed fitment for 6-Speed Subaru’s (includes proper clearance for factory reverse lockout).
Just want to start out by saying that billetworkz is a great company to work with, they genuinely care. Next this extender is incredible it looks great perfect color for me and paired with my shift knob I think it’s a great combo. The height of the extender makes shifting a breeze and puts your hand in a very comfortable position. I will definitely do business with billetworkz again.
I have the Billetworkz short throw shifter on as well, but I won’t go into details on the shifter until I make a review on that.
I originally had on the 2 inch extender on and that felt pretty good. However, I thought what the hell, there’s a sale on accessories and I’ll try the 4 inch. It felt pretty big and the hand placement took some getting used to, but I felt like the extra extra long handle has made my transmission shift just a liiiiiiittle better over the 2 inch (transmission issues from the start when I got it). I feel like I can shift better from 4th to 5th with the 4 inch on than the 2 inch and WAY better over no extender at all. It still makes me giggle from time-to-time when I see its glory in the sun and how ridiculous it probably looks, but it definitely has wow factor for sure.
I will say you should have a small crescent wrench in your glovebox with some painter’s tape on there to tighten it down just a little more when you need to. Maybe I wasn’t tightening it on tight enough, but I felt like it was coming loose a little bit. I got it to wear it wasn’t wiggling loose. No big deal.
In summary: Great given you have the short throw shifter on.
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)
I have tried numerous shift knobs and multiple height variations. Wish I would have tried this extension first, would have saved me a lot of money in knobs. I have the factory short throw shifter, with Group N rear mount and Kartboy front mount. I have paired the assembly with the optional factory delrin knob and 2" extension and wow. You get the crisp shifts still while have that bit more leverage. Something often overlooked, but I am 6'3" and I need to sit further back. You need that extra reach on the shifter but you don't want too much extra that makes it feel like shifting mush. This 2" extension bridges that gap beautifully.
Great fit and finish. Works great when you want hand closer to wheel during shifts. Not sure if it’s right for me but none the less a perfect extension.
