JDM Type R–Style Shift Knob for Honda Manual Transmissions

JDM-inspired shift knob engineered for Honda manual transmissions.
Supports rare 5MT fitment with round or teardrop designs, balanced weight, and precise M10x1.5 threading.

Inspired by the legendary FD2, FK8, and FL5 Type R, this JDM Type R–Style Shift Knob is designed to deliver authentic motorsport feel for Honda manual drivers. Each piece is CNC-machined, hand-finished, and carefully weighted to enhance shift precision and tactile feedback.

Tested across a wide range of Honda platforms — including Civic 11 FE, S2000, GK5, FK7, Gen 9 Civic Si, Civic FL1, Gen 8 Civic, and FL5 Type R — this knob offers broad compatibility while maintaining a true JDM character.
