Top Shift Knobs to Customize Your Subaru WRX Manual Transmission
Choosing a Shift Knob
When selecting an aftermarket shift knob for a WRX, there are a few key considerations:
Type of Shift Knob
Common types include round shift balls, tapered shapes, teardrops, and unique sculpted designs. The shape impacts comfort and functionality.
Size and Height
Make sure the size, specifically the height, fits ergonomically with your transmission and hand size.
Thread Pattern
Many shift knobs tap into standard U.S. and Japanese thread patterns that match the WRX. Ensure the knob aligns properly.
Weight
Heavier shift knobs change shift feel. Consider personal preference for light, medium or heavy weighted knobs.

What are the standard thread sizes for WRX shift knobs?
Most WRX models have M10x1.25 or M12x1.25 thread size shift knob connections. Some use reverse threads, so check your owner’s manual when selecting an aftermarket shift knob.
Do weighted shift knobs impact performance?
Heavier shift knobs can slightly improve shifts by smoothing out the force, but most performance impact comes from short throw shifters. Lighter knobs allow faster shifting.
How easy is it to install a custom shift knob?
Aftermarket WRX shift knobs twist securely into place by hand within minutes. No tools or modifications are required for most installations.
Will a new shift knob void my factory warranty?
No, simple cosmetic upgrades like shift knobs will not void your powertrain warranty, as long as proper installation procedures are followed.
