Part # KTD-SFT-KNR (Red)
The
K-Tuned Billet Shift Knob is the result of quite a bit of customer and
racer feedback. We already offer several K-Series shifter upgrades so it
was definitely time for us to develop a clean and functional shift
knob. The process begins with a solid billet bar of 6061 aluminum, and
each knob is machined to final size on a CNC lathe. After the lathe, the
blank knobs are sent out for the anodizing process. The black is hard
anodized and the silver is a regular anodize. During the final step,
each knob is chucked up on a 4-Axis CNC mill to precision cut in the
unique grid pattern that was designed to improve shifter grip. This
final step is so critical that we actually have a 5% scrap rate. On
cable shifter setup we found that a weighted knob can cause shifting
problems for some drivers because the neutral return spring has to work
harder to pull the shifter back to the center. So instead of going to
the heavy side we found a good weight (5.5 oz) that is just enough to
allow confident and accurate shifting while still keeping enough weight
to help the front to back shifts. Shift knobs are finished in your
choice of black or silver with our K-Tuned logo on two sides.
