Where's the shift knobs?

[Varekai]

Maybe put some wax or opti coat on it to prevent scratches?

Actually if you go to the CJ PONY site they list their knobs for Fiesta ST, Focus ST and 15 Mustang.

You want factory set ups or what's available aftermarket?

What are you asking?

There is a picture of the Knob I got from CJPony earlier in this thread. White with black pattern markings. I like the feel and size much better than the stock knob.

For whatever reason it quoted the wrong thing...:frusty:

Any pics of the Focus or Fiesta set ups?

Lets try this again...Looking for factory or what they have available aftermarket? I haven't looked to deep into the aftermarket for them, they seem to get the same options we do. :shrug:

Anything. Just wanted to see other options.

It's just plastic. You could polish it out if they are not too deep. If they are, some fine sand paper would remove the scratches first and then work your way up to 2000 grit and then polish?
You have no experience polishing you balls?

Anyone know what size a Hurst shift knob is? I had their shifter in my '05 and loved the size. I'm pretty sure it was smaller than the standard cue ball size shifter. I think the '15 shifter handle/ball might be a little small for my taste.

A standard Hurst "old school" knob from the '60's and '70's was something like 1.75 diameter. Speed Dawgs is much larger. I think 2.25"? I have the original type in my '66 and my son's '95 GT, and it took some getting use to the larger one.

No, I like a little bit of texture on them so someone's grip doesn't slide off ;)

^^^Had this exact one in my Si and I loved it, however I got it at a steal for half the price from what they're asking. The premium price can almost be justified by how good that knob was, didn't get scolding hot in the FL summer, nice heavy weight made shifts exceptionally easier, excellent quality overall.

^^^buddy of mine had this one on his focus st he said he really liked it

^^^I like the options they have for these knobs, but again there's a premium price here as well



Comparison of Cobb vs. Lathewerks:

I will be assisting for a prototype for this company in a couple weeks. They're also a bit expensive.

Hope this was at least helpful! IMHO I think its more reasonable to spend $150 on something that helps you row through your gears more effectively and comfortably than $1500 on an exhaust that provides nothing more than sound. Not denying the sound these motors make with an exhaust though! :ford:

FYI, when it comes to Loctite;

Purple = low strength
Blue = Medium
Red and Orange = High
Green = wicking medium strengrh

FYI, not necessarily so on the green. Some of the heavier viscosity green stuff is meant for use as a bearing retainer. If you use that green stuff, you will NEVER get it apart. Almost as effective as welding.

I had the James Baron Racing shift knob on my 2010 Mazdaspeed3 and liked the extra weight alot. The only thing was that it was hot in the summer and cold in the winter tell the cars climate changed.

Did it say "Wo! I feel good, I knew that I would! Wo! I feel nice, like sugar and spice!!"
...When you shifted? Oh, wait. James BARON. Never mind.

I'm almost wondering if a weighted shift knob would help the shift thuds these cars have.
