Stock shift knob’s weight

[wtam1100]

Thinking about copping an insulated acuity shift knob. I’m currently out of town n don’t have the ITS with me. Does anyone know how much the stock ITS shift knob weights ? Thanks ahead of time for your help.

Best I can do. OEM ITS shift knob is at least 0.6lbs

If .6 lbs is accurate. Thats about 272 grams. Thats way heavier than both the insulated sk that acuity sells. I’m going to have to rethink this. Not sure I want a lighter than stock shift knob.

I love light shift knobs. I rock the Spoon Ti knob and it weighs as much as en egg shell.

I’ve had light shift knobs, somehow it felt cheaper without the power feeling when shifting. There is some notable mechanical feel however.

weighted shift knobs are a lot smoother. The momentum ensures it gets into the gear you want smoothly.
Heavier knobs inherently makes shift throws with more kinetic energy and momentum when set in motion than lightweight shift knob. This effect of carrying more momentum. This results in a smoother shift feel with less direct effort required to engage the next gear.

The ITS already feels amazing with OEM knob or the optional titanium heavy knob. The shifting action and feel is a huge reason we all love this car. It all has to do with shifting technique and style too as what you’ve been used to. Ideally, shift how the car wants to shift and less of how we want to. Things to consider before going lighter; this is just my opinion, others may feel differently

I do like the feel of the stock sk. Just wanted something immune to temperature swings in Ohio. Thats the only reason thinking about swapping for me. Might just deal with it n stick with stock. N just save that loot.

Shift knob covers or pair of gloves in the glove compartment. I always have one anyway for winter or emergency tire changes/maintenance

Used my coffee scale, the OEM knob is 245 gram and the optional "TI" knob is 255 gram

I was not impressed with the stock shift knob. So switch to weighted Raceseng shift . It's also for heat or cold temp's.

Does anyone know the part number to the ITS shift knob? I am thinking about getting one for my FK8. (Not sure if it fits but it looks like it would) Thanks!

This should be the part number for the Ti shift knob. 08U92-S2A-100

interesting that the Ti sk weights more. But I like the extra weight for shifting. Thanks for weighting the two.

Thanks! I am actually interested in the OEM leather knob P/N. But I’ll save the Ti knob P/N as well. (If anyone is selling the OEM leather knob, please PM me.)

Oh that's what you meant. Should be this PN: 54102-31M-A00ZC . Its super expensive new. Defy find a used one. GL

I think I'm going to get that. I just weighed by brand new 8th gen OEM shift knob and its 239g and the Acura TSX perforated is 240g.
