Construction & Design

The Billetworkz shift knob is meticulously crafted from 304 stainless steel, a material known for its excellent corrosion resistance and durability under daily use. Each knob is CNC machined to exacting tolerances, ensuring a perfect fit and consistent quality. The powdercoated finish not only adds a sleek look but also protects the surface from wear and environmental damage.

Laser engraving technology is used to permanently mark shift patterns and logos, providing a clean, professional appearance that won’t fade or wear off over time. The weighted design is engineered to optimize shifting feel by adding mass to the knob, which helps smooth out gear changes and enhances driver control.

Installation & Fitment

Installation is straightforward and designed to fit the factory 6-speed shifter on 2022 and newer Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 models. Due to the oversized factory reverse lockout mechanism, only the Short Teardrop shape achieves a direct OEM fit without modification. For all other shapes—Sphere, Lightbulb, Tall Teardrop, Piston, and Sledge—a Reverse Lockout Adaptor is recommended to provide proper clearance and eliminate any gap between the knob base and the lockout.

The adaptor ensures a secure, precise fit and maintains the factory reverse lockout functionality. Installation requires minimal tools and can typically be completed in minutes by removing the factory knob and threading on the Billetworkz replacement.
