Billetworkz Weighted Shift Knob

2022+ Subaru BRZ / Toyota GR86

Part #: BW-KNB-BRZ2-NO-GRED-SL

Overview

Upgrade your 2022 and newer Subaru BRZ or Toyota GR86 with the Billetworkz Weighted Shift Knob in Gloss Red. Designed to enhance both the look and feel of your vehicle’s interior, this shift knob offers a premium tactile experience for drivers seeking smoother, more precise gear changes. Its weighted design reduces shift effort and improves shifting fluidity, making it an excellent choice for enthusiasts who demand performance and style from their daily driver or weekend track car.

Crafted specifically for the 2022+ BRZ and GR86 models, this shift knob is tailored to fit the unique factory reverse lockout mechanism. While the Short Teardrop shape achieves an OEM-level fitment without additional parts, other shapes such as Sphere, Lightbulb, Tall Teardrop, Piston, and Sledge require a Reverse Lockout Adaptor to ensure proper clearance and eliminate any gaps. This attention to fitment detail guarantees a seamless integration with your vehicle’s shifter assembly.

Construction & Design

Each Billetworkz shift knob is meticulously CNC machined from premium 304 stainless steel, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and durability under daily use. The knob is then thoroughly cleaned and finished with a high-quality powdercoat in gloss red, delivering a smooth, glossy surface that stands up to heat, sweat, and abrasion. The laser engraving process permanently marks the shift pattern and logos, ensuring they remain clear and legible over time without fading or peeling.

The weighted design is engineered to add mass to the shift knob, which helps dampen vibrations and allows for smoother, more controlled gear changes. This design consideration not only improves shifting feel but also enhances driver confidence during spirited driving or track sessions.

Installation & Fitment

Installing the Billetworkz Weighted Shift Knob on your 2022+ BRZ or GR86 is straightforward. The Short Teardrop shape is designed to fit the factory reverse lockout mechanism perfectly without any additional parts. For other available shapes—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 lockout.

This adaptor ensures the knob sits at the correct height, maintaining the integrity of the reverse lockout function while providing a clean, OEM-like appearance. Installation requires no special tools beyond basic hand tools, making it an accessible upgrade for enthusiasts of all skill levels.
