Using a weighted shift knob.

[travistx28]

Just curious who plans to replace their shift knob with a performance, weighted shift knob.

If so, what brand and why are you choosing it?

Billetworkz and Raceseng make some nice products.

If you're unsure of weight, I always point people to their kitchen. Pick up some canned goods of the weight of interest and move them around, to get a feel for things.

As a reference, the factory shift knob in the 2022 Mach 1 arrives at 250g / .5 lb.

Just got this. Never heard of raceseng until joining this forum. It's HEAVY and very well built. Hopefully stands up to wear and tear... 1.4 lbs!

I’m planning on an alcantara wrapped weighted shift knob from raceng or billetworkz.

Thanks for the reply. What are your thoughts on the added weight? Does it improve your driving experience? Are you happy with the product?

Driving to work in a few so I'll let you know when I get there lol

Very happy with the product build quality. Little taller than I thought compared to stock knob I'll snap a picture side by side but other than that I'm impressed.

For a lot less that $99 I can get a knob job down the street. Sorry for the bad joke but weighted or not it’s just a shiny bit of bling that changes nothing. Maybe you could argue some of the shapes might feel better in your hand but come on.

Assuming youre on here because you got a new mustang or considering it.. but..You could also get a lot cheaper car but I guess you could argue you like the way it feels lol

I put it on without the top mount screw (the one used to align the gear numbers) I hand tightened all the way down, reverse lockout wouldn't work. I had to back the threads off quite a bit for the reverse lockout to work which made it significantly taller. I'll set it all properly tonight (minus locktight) so I can get better idea of how tall this is going to be. Contacted raceseng to see if this is normal or if they just haven't seen the 2024 yet and then may need to alter the design a tad to accommodate it. I did like the way the Weight felt though, noticeable change

Great! That helps me a lot. I think I will wait until they make the tweaks for the shift knob to fit a 2024.

I’ve got a billetworkz I’m going to install soon. I also have their reverse lockout replacement so that the knob doesn’t sit too high properly installed. I’m hoping the install is the same as s550 shown below. Has anyone removed the shifter boot in their 2024 to change the reverse lockout yet? It looks like it’d be easy to break the clips on removal…

The knob I got was for the OEM lockout but on their site it doesn't say 2024 so I'm curious if this was expected or if they'll need to adjust their design thus year

I bought the spherical knob from billetworkz and on their site it said I’d need their reverse lockout with a smaller diameter top end for all but the half-sphere knob designs for 2015+ mustangs.

Not cheap when buying the car but maybe a little cheap on that. Went all in on a Viofo A139 dash cam and window tint all windows.

Pic of cam setup? Curious how large it is once in place. Never had a cam before and everyone recommends that brand.
