Billetworkz Shift Knob

2013–2021 Subaru BRZ / Scion FR-S / Toyota 86

Part #: BW-KNB-BRZ1-NO-BLKFS-SL

Overview

Upgrade the interior of your 2013–2021 Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S, or Toyota 86 with the Billetworkz Black with Fire Splash Shift Knob. Designed for enthusiasts who demand both style and functionality, this shift knob offers a unique custom anodized finish that enhances your vehicle’s cabin aesthetics. Crafted to provide a comfortable and precise shifting experience, it is an ideal choice for drivers looking to personalize their manual transmission setup without compromising on quality or fitment.

This shift knob is especially suited for those who want a distinctive look combined with durable construction. Please note that due to the oversized factory reverse lockout on these models, only the Short Teardrop shape achieves an OEM fit without additional parts. For other shapes such as Sphere, Lightbulb, Tall Teardrop, Piston, and Sledge, a Reverse Lockout Adaptor is recommended to ensure proper clearance and eliminate any gaps.

• Compatible with factory reverse lockout when using the Short Teardrop shape or with a Reverse Lockout Adaptor for other shapes

• Option to add custom engraving available separately for personalized styling

Construction & Design

The shift knob is precision-machined from 6061 aluminum, a material known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. Each knob undergoes a meticulous polishing process to achieve a mirror-like surface before the anodizing stage. The anodizing is performed by hand using an intensive technique that layers the vibrant fire splash colors onto the black base, creating a durable and visually striking finish.

This anodized layer not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also provides superior scratch resistance, ensuring the shift knob maintains its showroom-quality look even after extended use. The design accommodates the unique reverse lockout mechanism of the BRZ/FR-S/86, with specific recommendations for fitment depending on the knob shape chosen.

Installation & Fitment

Installation is straightforward for most users familiar with manual transmission components. The Billetworkz shift knob replaces the factory knob by unscrewing the original and threading the new knob onto the shift lever. Due to the oversized factory reverse lockout on these vehicles, the Short Teardrop shape fits directly with OEM specifications. For other shapes, a Reverse Lockout Adaptor is recommended to ensure proper clearance and eliminate any gaps between the knob base and the lockout mechanism.

This ensures a secure, precise fit and maintains the functionality of the reverse lockout system without modification to the vehicle’s transmission components.
