Construction & Design

The Billetworkz Velocity Shift Knob is meticulously crafted from 304 stainless steel, a material known for its excellent durability and resistance to rust and corrosion. Each knob is CNC machined to exacting tolerances, ensuring a perfect fit and smooth surface finish. After machining, the knobs undergo a thorough cleaning process before receiving a high-quality powdercoat finish that adds both protection and visual appeal.

The laser engraving process permanently marks the shift patterns and logos with precision, guaranteeing long-lasting clarity even under heavy use. The knob’s weight is carefully balanced to provide a substantial feel that improves shifting precision and driver feedback without adding excessive bulk.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the Billetworkz Velocity Shift Knob is straightforward and designed to be a direct replacement for the factory knob on 2022 and newer Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 models with a 6-speed manual transmission. The Short Teardrop shape fits OEM specifications perfectly, allowing for a seamless swap without additional parts.

For other available shapes such as Sphere, Lightbulb, Tall Teardrop, Piston, and Sledge, a Reverse Lockout Adaptor is recommended. This adaptor compensates for the oversized factory reverse lockout mechanism by raising the knob slightly to maintain proper clearance and eliminate any gap between the knob base and the lockout. This ensures a secure fit and preserves the factory reverse lockout function.
