Billetworkz Weighted Shift Knob

2022+ Subaru BRZ / Toyota GR86

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

Overview

The Billetworkz Weighted Shift Knob in Hyper Blue is a premium upgrade designed specifically for the 2022 and newer Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 models. Crafted to enhance both the aesthetic and functional aspects of your vehicle’s interior, this shift knob offers a smooth, precise shifting experience thanks to its added weight. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved gear engagement and a custom look, this knob combines style and performance in one durable package.

While the Short Teardrop shape fits the factory reverse lockout perfectly without modification, other shapes such as Sphere, Lightbulb, Tall Teardrop, Piston, and Sledge require the use of a Reverse Lockout Adaptor to ensure proper clearance and fitment. This attention to detail guarantees a seamless integration with your vehicle’s shifter assembly.

• Laser-engraved shift patterns and logos provide permanent, crisp markings without wear
• Compatible with 2022+ Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 models
• Short Teardrop shape fits OEM reverse lockout without adapters; other shapes require Reverse Lockout Adaptor
• Option available for custom engraving to personalize your shift knob
• Easy to clean and maintain powdercoat finish resists scratches and fading

Construction & Design

The shift knob is meticulously crafted from 304 stainless steel, a material known for its excellent strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity even under daily use. Each knob undergoes CNC machining to achieve precise dimensions and a flawless surface finish. After machining, the knob is thoroughly cleaned and powdercoated in Hyper Blue, delivering a vibrant, durable finish that resists chipping and fading over time.

Laser engraving is used to permanently mark shift patterns and logos, providing clear, fade-resistant details that maintain their sharpness throughout the life of the product. The weighted design is carefully calibrated to enhance shifting feel without adding excessive bulk, striking a balance between comfort and performance.

Installation & Fitment

Installation is straightforward for the Short Teardrop shape, which fits directly onto the factory shifter with no modifications required. For other shapes—Sphere, Lightbulb, Tall Teardrop, Piston, and Sledge—a Reverse Lockout Adaptor is recommended to ensure proper clearance and eliminate any gaps caused by the oversized factory reverse lockout mechanism. This adaptor allows the knob to sit slightly higher, providing precise fitment and maintaining full reverse lockout functionality.

The knob threads directly onto the factory shifter shaft, making installation a simple process that can be completed with basic hand tools. No permanent modifications to the vehicle are necessary, allowing for easy removal or replacement if desired.
