Construction & Design

Each Billetworkz shift knob is meticulously CNC machined from premium 304 stainless steel, ensuring exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. The gloss white powdercoat finish is applied with precision to provide a smooth, high-gloss surface that resists wear and complements the interior styling of the BRZ and GR86.

The weighted design is engineered to optimize shift feel by adding mass to the knob, which helps dampen vibrations and allows for more fluid gear changes. The ergonomic Short Teardrop shape fits comfortably in the hand, promoting confident shifting without compromising reverse lockout functionality.

Installation & Fitment

Installation is straightforward for the Short Teardrop variant, which achieves an OEM fitment on 2022+ BRZ and GR86 models without modification. For other shapes such as Sphere, Lightbulb, Tall Teardrop, Piston, or Sledge, a Reverse Lockout Adaptor is recommended to maintain proper clearance due to the oversized factory reverse lockout mechanism. This adaptor prevents any gap between the knob base and lockout, ensuring a secure and precise fit.

The shift knob threads directly onto the factory shift lever, and no special tools are required for installation. Drivers should verify compatibility with their specific model year and transmission before purchase.
