Description

The HKS Carbon Shift Knob is a precision-engineered, vehicle-specific replacement designed to elevate the tactile shift feel and cockpit aesthetics of the GR86/BRZ. Wrapped in genuine carbon fiber and topped with a vibrant machined aluminum cap, it transforms the shift lever into a focal point of sporty, minimalist style. Optimized with a slightly reduced diameter for a more positive grip, it offers a direct, satisfying connection to the transmission for a more engaging driving experience.

Product Highlights

⚙️ Optimized Grip & Tactile Feel
Designed specifically for the GR86/BRZ, the knob features a slightly smaller diameter than the factory unit. This refined shape provides a more secure and natural grip in hand, allowing for quicker, more confident shifts with a direct, mechanical feel that enhances driver connection.

✨ Spartan Cockpit Aesthetics
Constructed with a genuine carbon fiber body and a machined aluminum insert cap, this knob introduces high-quality, performance-oriented materials to the cabin. The contrast between the textured carbon weave and the smooth, colored aluminum creates a sophisticated, motorsport-inspired look that complements the interior without being ostentatious.

🏎️ Lightweight for Sharper Response
Weighing approximately 145 grams, this knob contributes to a more responsive shift feel. The reduced mass on the shift lever can minimize inertia, making gear changes feel crisper and more immediate, a subtle yet noticeable improvement for enthusiasts.

🔧 Complete, Vehicle-Specific Kit
This is a complete, direct-replacement kit. It includes the shift knob itself and a gear pattern emblem for easy installation, ensuring a perfect fit on the factory shift lever threads for a secure, rattle-free finish.
