Gear Knob Advice Needed.....

[Arqum]

Guys,

Im in Tokyo at the moment and need some advice. H ave a manual Is200 and want to change the chrome grear knob, but im torn between two to pick from, so please advise and help!!!!!

These are the two knobs:

[Shorty1979]

i would go for the left one. like the look of it :)

[aaronabbott]

left one

[jason_l]

left one also!!!!

[Arqum]

ok, left one is winng here. Do you think the right one will make the gear leaver look long and stupid?

[kam05]

The one on the right, wouldn't that only fit an auto IS200 and not a manual IS200?

[Lexus2D]

Yeah me likes the left 1 2

[Arqum]

the 2nd one here is in the manual and auto version. The auto version has a metal/sliver base. Maunal doesn't. Has anyone of the members got any of this knobs fitted and in use?

[bridgerippa]

left one. similar shape to the one i have- very comfortable and doesnt look out of place.

[Yaumeister]

You know you can get them from the UK too right, the left one is only like £14, you didn't have to travel to Tokyo for that

I use the TRD round leather one (left), unscrew the chrome one then screw the new one in, easy!

I also have the left one fitted to my car which i bought off eBay. Much nicer in my opinion than the chrome one, and seems to make the throw slightly shorter too....... My only problem was where to put the gear pattern sticker that came with it as my original one was lookign ver tatty. Stuck it on top of the ash tray in the end.

Definitely the left one.

[DJ Wozza]

Left one for Manual (cant remember which you have mate) Right look ok in an Auto.

Gord has one fitted to his IS200 and it looks good IMO.

BTW did you do what I suggested when you got there ?

If so send me the video :winky:

[Tom-18]

Left one, i have it and its really comfortable and doesnt get cold in the mornings :D is a really good colour match if you have a leather interior!

Tom.

[Tom B]

I prefer the one on the right! but maybe im just different!!!!!!

[TUFF1]

Left one is better, the right one i would say is more for automatics which i would have.

You can pick me the up the right one for mine if you want, the cash is waiting ;)

These are the two knobs:

Why doesn't anyone like the chrome? My car's auto and I love the chrome; think it looks more 'sporty'.

[blue boy]

i like the chrome too but then i'm a ordinary kind of guy :winky:

I too have the left, and it was £15ish (eBay, thou from california!). Would reccommend it to anyone.

The right one will increase the height and therefore length of throw, and that is not good.

BTW did you do what I suggested when you got there ?

If so send me the video :winky:

This just sounds interesting!

[Carles]

Be careful, the automatic gear knob is M8x1.25 and the manual M12x1.25 so do not interchangable.

I prefer the left one also, and please make a pics of japanese cars for enjoy us

[hongsit]

Like the one on the left.

Is this gear knob specific to lexus? think I found it on eBay but looks slightly different, think its because the one on eBay its a close up pic.
