    Momo Shift Knob

    The dealer says this shift knob fits 16mm or smaller shift levers but I can't locate my calipers to measure the shaft on my MT6. Does anyone happen to know if this will/will not fit? Alternatively, I am looking for black trimmed in red and it could be suede, leather or Alcantara. Thanks.

    Too loud, huh? I'm going to pass on the Momo knob pictured not only because it might be a bit loud but mainly because it is an inch too tall at 3.5" plus isn't ergonomic for the downward push needed to go into reverse. The ideal knob for me would be a modified version of the OEM knob but with black Alcantara or leather and red top stitching. Does anyone sell such a knob?

    The form, in my opinion, is ugly. It looks like a manual mercedes benz piece that belongs in a taxi

    The cheese grater is cool - perhaps too much on the MT cars ;-) (RT guys probably only use twice a day..) There is an OEM knob with a leather trim and the R8 GT is pretty cool too.

    The cheese grater was annoying, we switched it for the Euro leather shift knob and it's very nice.
