    Artisan Shift Knobs at revlimiter.net

    I'm honestly not sure how to post about this since I have so few of them, but I'm gonna just go ahead and get this thread up. We'll see what happens.


    Shift Knobs at revlimiter.net!

    • Artisan-made in VERY small batches. Want a unique shift knob? Look no further.
    • Fits all Miatas ever made - NA, NB, NC, and ND. 1989-2017.
    • Wood shift knobs are produced by Rich of Long Dog Woodworking.
    • Garage5 shift knobs are produced by George of Garage5.
    • Inserts produced by me, Adam at revlimiter.
    • Insert is the same as on the badges - composed of vinyl and solar-cell quality polyurethane epoxy.


    I have ONE of each wood shift knob and a handful of the G5 metal ones. Three? Not many. If you think you want one, go claim it at the revlimiter Store.



    These can take any keychain insert!!! You're not stuck with what you see in the pix.








    Many thanks to Rich and George for helping me get these to the market. Hopefully they'll be a success and I can get a bunch more in stock to sell you guys!

    Get them while they're... room temperature? Wood doesn't really get hot. hahaha

    Having parked my car out in the sun on a hot day with the top down, I can tell you wood does indeed got hot. Hot enough to make driving awkward. Hot enough that cover the wheel and knob is a good idea on such hot days.

    Out of curiosity, what's the weights on the wood knobs? I know some people will be concerned about the weight of the knobs as that plays heavily in shifting feel.

    Weight isn't bad on these. All have a solid center which gives them some heft. All are heavier than the NA Nardi shifter, but all are lighter than the NB Nardi.

    NA Nardi wood knob: 74g

    Smallest pecan knob (#1): 88g
    Pecan #2: 109g
    Ebony #3: 123g
    Ebony #4: 121g

    NB Nardi wood knob: 170g

    Hope that helps!

    Well... these have not exactly flown off the shelves.

    I've marked prices down on all shift knobs. If some of them sell or I can get some feedback on them, I can bring a few more to the market.

    Artisan Shift Knobs at

    Im after a black 131 rubber shift boot, like in the picture below.

    Does any one have a spare lying around that they would part with?

    thanks.

    Garage5 knobs are gone. Rumors indicate that there might not be any more G5 products made again... I'm hoping that's not the case.
