WC Lathe Werks (Shift Knobs)
« on: December 07, 2011, 11:26:10 PM »
Looking for a custom shift knob? This is the place.

http://www.lathewerks.com/shop/

I am currently finishing up a mod in which my automatic transmission will have a shift boot and trim. I wanted a 5 speed shift knob so I had a lip to attach the boot to for a clean look. Problem was that a 5 speed shift lever has a bigger diameter than the 4EAT shift lever. So I emailed Chris from WC Lathe Werks about what I needed. He replied that day and had an answer. I just ordered the 4EAT shift knob that I wanted and he machined it with a lip for the shift boot. A week later, today, I got the knob in the mail. Excellent craftsmanship. Nice heavy, clean, durable knob. Very well made and works perfectly.

The site has a large variety of shift knobs and they all can be customized with different sizing and engraving and materials. I think its the best place to get a shift knob that is unique and can include everything you need or want.

I priced out everything I wanted and it was very reasonable (but I'm going to have to wait until the warranty is up)
2005 Subaru Impreza 2.5rs wagon

1995 Subaru Brighton Rs (sold)
2002 Hyundai Accent (sold)
1999 Chevy Cavalier (sold to my brother)
1998 Subaru Legacy wagon (traded to Blackparis)
1997 Subaru Legacy (Parted out and crushed)
1999 Honda Civic (Wrecked)
Quote me now while I'm feeling good about it.  I've decided a WRX will be the vehicle that replaces the Jeep.  I can't see paying Evo prices or justifying purchasing a halfassed/beat to death example for the same asinine amount of money.  For an affordable, point to point, all-weather capable performance car, a wagon fits the bill.  A swapped wagon, even better.
