got the TK shiftknob cause its rare. couldn't find one so before that I got a fatboy racespec from grafixpressions i now use it for my weekday use so my ring, watch etc doesn't scratch up the TK which i use for meets and shows mainly.
the "daily" one feels just as good and comparable weight, fatboy feels heavier. they also do lighter version in derlin and aluminum in the same style.

It's ugly and the ergonomics are questionable... The cost isn't relevant. If you want something and have the cash for it, enjoy. I have a forged ****, the cost is also too high but it feels awesome in hand.

Because this shiftknob is the only one that adds horsepower.

BTW, it's discontinued now.

They are also discontinued as well...which will make them a rarer sight and quite possibly worth more such as HKS and ARK oil caps lol

P.S. if anyone has a Ark or HKS oil cap their not using and would like to give me lmk LOLOL

Ah, yes... Product Innovations. I've bought a round urethane 2.25" **** from them for every stick shift car I've owned in the last 7 years. I think that's about 6. I've got one on my Evo now. It's funny, when I email them now, they know me by name and know which **** I want. They just ask me what thread I need.

Idk if that's the company, but yea, I had my TK on my car trying to sell the "*****" **** (actually a pretty funny thread IIRC) and once it sold I installed it to drive to work and the PO, and ALMOST cancelled the sale because of how good it felt..............no homo.

It is that company. That picture was taken in a GM F-Body. They use that car as well as a Vette and a Mustang for most of their pictures.

Default TK Hebi Bebi Completely Discontinued?

Is the only way to get one via private sale now?

Sorry if this is beating a dead horse, I couldn't find any solid answers anywhere.

Thanks guys!

No idea... But consider getting a shift **** that is ergonomic. The one your looking at is neither comfortable nor especially functional.
