New Aluminum Shift Knob
January 17, 2008 9:36 pm Accessories, InstallsI really don’t know why they switched from the all aluminum shift knob in the AP1’s to the leather-stitched model in the AP2’s, but i definitely preferred the original one. My buddy bought me the RSX-S hop-up shift knob, which is the same shape as the AP2 leather-stitched model, but all aluminum.
The knew knob gives me a feeling like I’m more directly connected to the transmission and the whole car. The RSX-S knob is about half the weight of the AP2 knob, but I’ve noticed no less precise shifts. The brushed aluminum finish also matches very well with the AP2 brushed aluminum radio door.
