DEWHEL 5-Speed Shift Knob Black/White Inlay Short-Throw CNC 6061 Aluminum Weighted

DEWHEL's Black/White Inlay 5-Speed Short Throw Shift Knob is a solid 6061 aluminum, weighted manual shifter upgrade that fits most JDM and popular Japanese cars and improves shift feel.

This billet-style shift knob replaces the factory lever with a compact, weighted ball that shortens throw and adds a classic engraved shift pattern. Machined from weapons-grade 6061 aluminum and finished in a black housing with a white inlay, the knob balances durable construction with a clean, race-inspired aesthetic. It ships with three copper threading adapters for broad vehicle compatibility and is engineered for direct bolt-on installation with no permanent modification required.

Will this shift knob fit my car?

The DEWHEL knob uses an M12x1.25 thread and includes three adapters (M8x1.25, M10x1.5, M10x1.25) to match most Japanese and many other manual transmissions. It’s intended for 5-speed manual and gated-style automatic shifters; it will not work with push-button automatics.

• Thread: M12 x 1.25 main thread plus three adapters included
• Compatible makes: Acura, Honda, Infiniti, Lexus, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Scion, Subaru, Toyota
• Not compatible with push-button automatic shifters
• Direct bolt-on: no cutting or welding required

How does the weighted design change shifting?

Weighing 200 grams (about 7.1 oz), the knob adds rotational mass that stabilizes lever movement and helps deliver crisper, more positive gear engagements. The extra weight smooths shift transitions and can reduce missed shifts during spirited driving.

• 200 g mass for more positive and stable shifts
• Round ball shape for confident hand placement
• Shorter perceived throw because of compact profile
• Engraved shift pattern for quick gear recognition

What materials and finish options are used?

This knob is CNC-machined from solid 6061 aluminum chosen for strength, corrosion resistance, and light weight. The surface is finished in black with a crisp white engraved inlay for contrast and long-lasting legibility.

• Material: solid 6061 aluminum (weapons-grade quality)
• Finish: black outer with white engraved inlay
• Durable engraving resists fading from hand oils and sunlight
• Precision machining ensures consistent fit and balance

How easy is the installation and what’s included?
