Billetworkz Weighted Shift Knob

2022+ Subaru BRZ / Toyota GR86

Part #: BW-KNB-BRZ2-NO-RBSP-SP

Overview

The Billetworkz Weighted Shift Knob in Rainbow Sparkle finish is a premium upgrade designed specifically for the 2022 and newer Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 models. This shift knob enhances your driving experience by providing a smooth, solid feel during gear changes, thanks to its added weight and precision engineering. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking both style and performance, this knob offers a unique aesthetic with its vibrant rainbow sparkle powdercoat, making your interior stand out while improving shift quality.

Designed to fit the factory shifter with minimal modification, the knob is compatible with multiple shapes, including Sphere, Lightbulb, Tall Teardrop, Piston, Sledge, and the Short Teardrop. However, due to the oversized factory reverse lockout on these models, only the Short Teardrop shape achieves an OEM-level fit without additional parts. For other shapes, a Reverse Lockout Adaptor is recommended to ensure proper clearance and eliminate any gap between the knob base and lockout mechanism.

Construction & Design

The shift knob is crafted from 304 stainless steel, a material known for its excellent corrosion resistance and durability under daily use. Each knob is CNC machined to exacting tolerances, ensuring a perfect fit and smooth surface finish. The Rainbow Sparkle powdercoat is applied with care to provide a vibrant, multi-dimensional color effect that resists fading and chipping. Laser engraving permanently marks the shift pattern and logos, maintaining clarity and legibility over time without wear.

The weighted design adds mass to the knob, which helps to smooth out gear changes by increasing momentum during shifts. This engineering detail reduces the effort required to shift gears and enhances the tactile feedback for a more engaging driving experience.

Installation & Fitment

Installation is straightforward and designed to fit the 2022 and newer Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 models. The Short Teardrop shape installs directly onto the factory shifter with an OEM-like fit. 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 gap caused by the factory oversized reverse lockout mechanism. This adaptor ensures a secure and precise fit, maintaining the integrity of the reverse lockout function.

No permanent modifications are required, and the knob can be installed using basic hand tools. Detailed instructions are typically included to guide you through the process.
