Billetworkz 4-Inch Shift Knob Extender – Subaru WRX 5-Speed

I love it with the investment

Nice piece! 2" is the perfect bump up for the big boy shifter feel.

Bought this on the recommendation of email exchange with a BW employee.
At the time I didn’t want to exchange the “sti” version I bought that fit well just got in the way of the reverse lockout a little.
I was enjoying it well enough and wasn’t going to ask BW to hassle with it even though they offered.
Fast forward a few weeks later and I bought the recommended rs/st version.
Works perfectly with the lockout now! No dragging and it still looks great with the BW “clown nose” red ball shifter .
Top notch service (even when the customer is stubborn) and perfect quality product.

Was looking for an extension for my GR C shifter as the stock was a bit low for my personal tastes (6'2" and 290 ish , gravitational mass made it uncomfortable some days) , looked around and read reviews figured out this would work for me. Used the provided nut to keep the reverse lockout working . Looks great , improves the feel a lot and when I am lazy? It acts as a impromptu arm rest !

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.
