Mine is a ZHP knob, but because I don't have an M car, I popped off the shift pattern and put an M-Technic one on instead:


It goes very well with an M-Tech 1 steering wheel that is rewrapped and has a new color badge on it.

this is a good time for this tread , i installed the z3 shifter as my oem short shifter + zhp knob , but i find the need for a taller knob... for easier shifts

i was thinking about this knob and cover it with alcantara ... is this a rubber or plastic one ? its a little over $30... + $18 for the old school emblem

From what I hear, the rubber one (you pictured) is flimsy, but I'd let others chime in who have first hand experience with that one.



Also, ZHP is weighted, feels good for people who like weighted shift knobs

how's the weight of the zhp shift knob? I have some crappy ricer knob that feels super light that I would like to get rid of (thanks to the previous owner)

I personally don't really like the ZHP knob, as it's more catered to people who pistol grip the shifters. I guess I'm one of the rare few that holds the shift knob from the top?

I've shifted with one of these before on a friend's car, its pretty much the greatest thing ever. Mostly in regards to ergonomics. For those strange people who put their hand on top of the shifter, I find it makes 2-3 and 4-5 shifts much more comfortable



Sadly, I've got my PO's walmart shift knob. The budget is real tight right now and the aformentioned knob is $75 new
I do have a oem leather style headed my way from a forum member, got a good deal on it so I couldn't pass up. The kind that *looks* like a ZHP

true but it only costs 63$ new as opposed to 2-4k RS's....Just sayin...I have a weight wood knob from an e46 #feelsgudman

ZHP is played out more than BBS RS wheels.
