We've been very impressed with the shifting in our Zanardi edition NSX. The shift knob used in this special edition is the same found in the Type-S edition NSX in Japan. This factory designed heavy-weighted shift knob feels excellent in the hand and the weight allows the knob to easily drop into gear. The factory price is $380.00+, so we had to find a way to replicate the design and finish for our customers.
After testing in materials and finishing, we were able to accurately replicate this shift knob.
The shift knob starts from T304 billet as is machined to factory dimensions. The knob is then ground, micro bead blasted, and vapor polished. The elaborate finishing process results in a semi-luster finish that is beautiful, hard, and durable - exactly replicating the factory finish.
With its heavy weight (440-444 grams) - it's remarkable what a difference this makes in shifting precision. Compatible with both the NSX the S2000, this shift knob improves the driver's ability to make quick and precise gear changes - improving shift times, and reducing the chance of mis-shifts while driving aggressively on the street or track.
