hmm.. its been a long time since knob threads..

are there any specs available on this particular part?

unless the product description tells you the weight as a specific feature just as it would probebly describe it as "made of black leather with black stitching" etc.., my guess is it wouldnt be any heavier than stock. youd be paying for the black leather and the TRD label and the feeling of a softer knob in your hand.

There's not much about its weight. Even on the trdparts.jp site. Thanks for replying though.

If I had scales at work I'd take mine off and weigh it....but I don't

[jeun]

Its about 195 grams if anyone's interested. The stock one weighs 200 grams.

So yeah, they're about the same.

TBH I quite like that gearknob, nice to hold

Does this knob show a pattern for a 5-Speed transmission?

[jeun]

Yeah it does. It's very similar to the stock. just better weight balance IMO.

[T.J]

yes the 5 grams really makes a difference i wouldnt be buying it for anything more than the feel

if your worried about weight pull your engine cover off theres about 250 odd grams off your front wheels

that knob ways 150g. unfortunately they only come with 5sp patterns but i still use it on my 6sp. much better feel over stock and looks the business. shame TRD couldnt be bothered to run a 6 sp version as all our 6sp knobs lookk crap and the fake chrome wears off very quickly revealing lovely white plastic - quality ;)
