I knew I was gambling a little when I bought this for my 2010 Honda Fit, but since the price was right, I figured, why not? While installation is a breeze, don't expect to ever get the knob on straight and keep it in place. Every time I tried to get the shift numbers to line up like they should, the knob would always get loose while shifting. Of course, I kept tightening the adapter that threads onto the shift lever, but no use. It would always slip loose again. Of course, when the knob is crooked, it doesn't move at all and I kinda think it might not come off when I go to replace this one with a genuine OEM knob from Honda. But this will have to do. On the positive side, the knob really does feel nice in my hand as I shift and it does go well with the interior. I just wish I could make it stay on straight. Oh well, next time I guess...
This shift knob was a great addition to my 2002 Mazda Protege. They did send me the wrong thread pattern, but I just ordered another one in a different color so now I have 2. They use the same adapter so they're interchangeable. The Mazda Protege uses M10 - 1.25 not the M10 - 1.50
I went ahead and change to my original shifter to a short throw shifter and when I replaced that the shift knob that it originally came with was too light. It made it really hard to shift gears. I decided to buy a weighted shift knob. It makes a world of difference. The original shifter had a counterweight at the top to make it easier to shift. The short throw shifter doesn't so you have to add a heavier shift knob to counter it. This one is cheap, looks good, feels great, & matches my car perfectly.
Aside from originally receiving the wrong size thread originally, it's an amazing Shift knob at an excellent price.
I bought this to replace the shift knob in my Kia. It was a round plastic thing, and it broke apart. This looked interesting, so I thought I would give it a try. It fit just fine, and the narrow shape of the shift knob feels nice in the hand. it does it warm (and cold) depending on the temperature in the car. At times it is very hot to the touch, however it's not really an issue as when you shift it's done so quickly I never feel discomfort. Now if I just grab ahold of it and leave my hand on it, yes it will be unpleasant, but who does that? It looks nice, feels nice, and I doubt it will ever break.
Replaced my stock shifter on my 2002 civic SI aka the ep3 model. I purchased the car used and the original stock shifter didnt age too well it was cracked on top and looked as if whatever gel was cracking. This replacement on the car was a tiny bit shorter than the original so you see some metal not covered by the shift boot. But overall its so minimal. Feels a tiny bit heavier than the original and feels the quality is pretty well made.
Pros:
Shiny metallic red with white numbers. Ill update this if it begins to fade out (knob or numbers).
Easy install on the ep3 literally just unscrew the original and screw this in.
They added an additional screw i believe this might be an adapter. But the long black stock adapter that was already inside worked well and sits snug. The knob does not spin off.
Feels heavier.
Cons:
Lining up the numbers took me a while i kept screwing it on multiple times for a few minutes trying to figure out why it kept stopping sitting upside down. If you habe an issue with this. Heres what i did.
Twist it tighter till its lined up. I felt it was already too snug, but actually needed to tighten it a little more. Also adding tissue to the inside of it little by little and trying multiple times until it lines up helped alot to line up the numbers on top.
I know it's labeled for a Honda or Acura but it works well on a Jeep Wrangler too as it uses the same size thread! It screwed on all the way till it bottomed out and stopped in perfect position! Just what I needed to replace the old "universal" gear shift someone had put on.

I like the look of the metal rather than the old plastic junk that came with my Honda. Unfortunately the red numbering isn't crisply printed and the top looks scuffed during manufacture. I get the impression these are factory faults being sent out. It works and was cheap enough that I'll make it work. Had it been well produced It would have been worth 4 or 5 stars.
The retainer and knob both from dewhel installed super easy. Popped off the old knob and retainer, screwed down the retainer, then the m10x12 adapter that came with the knob, then the knob. I was having some trouble lining the numbers rightside up. So I ended up moving the retainer up 2-3 threads and that solved that. Boot slides right up onto new retainer without an issue. Ima ziptie nice and shut, for a clean install. The knob also came with a locking nut that I just couldnt seem to figure out a way to use it and look clean. So just tossed it to the side
This shift knob was a nice replacement for my 2000 civic. I didnt use the silver nut at all. I just tightened the threaded reducer on to the shifter and the screwed the knob on. The knob threads were tight enough to keep it from spinning while driving.
The shifter itself is nice, but i ordered the black and red and a blue one was sent to me.
