DEWHEL 5-Speed Short Throw Shift Knob — Black/White Inlay, 6061 Aluminium, 200g Compact 2-1/8"

This machined shift knob pairs race-inspired function with a refined look: a compact 2 1/8" diameter ball finished in black with a white engraved shift pattern. Built from weapons-grade 6061 aluminum and weighted to 200g (7.1oz), it’s engineered to reduce shift throw time while fitting a wide range of JDM and domestic vehicles. Included copper adapters and an M12x1.25 thread make installation straightforward on compatible manual and gated-style automatic shifters.

How does this knob change shifting feel?

The extra mass and compact shape reduce the distance the shifter moves and give gear changes a more solid, mechanical feedback. Drivers often notice crisper throws and less hand travel between gears.

• 200g weight increases momentum for firmer engagement
• 2 1/8" compact diameter shortens hand travel
• Solid 6061 aluminum dampens vibration compared to plastic knobs

Will it fit my car’s shifter?

Designed for broad compatibility with many 5-speed manual transmissions and gated-style automatics, the DEWHEL knob attaches via an M12x1.25 thread. The package includes three copper adapters to cover common thread sizes for easy fitment.

• Standard thread: M12x1.25
• Included adapters: M8x1.25, M10x1.5, M10x1.25
• Not compatible with push-button automatic shifters

What materials and finish does the knob use?

Crafted from a single billet of 6061 aluminum, this knob combines durability with weight. A black finish is contrasted by a white engraved inlay shift pattern for both grip reference and visual appeal.

• Solid weapons-grade 6061 aluminum construction
• Black surface with precision white engraved pattern
• Machine-finished for consistent balance and durability

How difficult is installation and maintenance?

Installation is bolt-on with no permanent modifications required for compatible shifters—simply remove the factory knob and thread this unit on, using an adapter if needed. Routine care is minimal: wipe clean and avoid harsh chemicals to keep the finish.

• Direct bolt-on for M12x1.25 shifters
• Adapters included for common thread conversions
• Clean with mild soap and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners

Ideal for drivers of Acura, Honda, Infiniti, Lexus, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Scion, Subaru, Toyota and other vehicles with compatible 5-speed or gated-style shifters who want quicker, more confident gear changes without permanent modification.
