Construction & Design

The Billetworkz shift knob is precision-machined from 6061 aluminum, a material known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to wear and corrosion. Each knob is meticulously polished to a mirror finish before undergoing a specialized anodizing process. This process not only enhances the visual appeal with vibrant Toxic Splash coloration but also creates a hard, protective layer that guards against scratches and everyday wear.

The hand-applied anodizing technique ensures that no two knobs are exactly alike, giving your vehicle a truly unique interior accent. The ergonomic shapes are designed to provide comfortable hand placement and improved shifting feel, tailored to the sporty nature of the BRZ, FR-S, and 86.

Installation & Fitment

Installation is straightforward for most shapes, with the Short Teardrop model providing an OEM-level fit without additional parts. For other shapes such as Sphere, Lightbulb, Tall Teardrop, Piston, and Sledge, a Reverse Lockout Adaptor is recommended to achieve proper clearance and eliminate any gaps between the knob base and the factory reverse lockout mechanism. This adaptor ensures a secure and precise fit, maintaining the integrity of the reverse lockout function.

The shift knob threads directly onto the factory shifter shaft, making installation quick and simple with basic hand tools. No permanent modifications are required, allowing for easy removal or replacement if desired.
