Shift Knob options with a 12v Switch/button - SRT Forums

Hey guys, this is the best place I could think of to put this post. I am looking for a new shift knob with a 12v switch/button on it to use while I am shifting in the car and want to control my launch boost controller for the first gear or two and then let off after that.

I found this one by Hurst that is pretty decent with the design. By that I mean that the button is of centered on the ball so that it does not obstruct the palm of your hand from going over the top like the stock shift knob. So basically your thumb wraps around the side to press it.

Hurst 163-0070 - Hurst Shifter Knobs - Ball Style - JEGS

I am looking for something along this design or something else that has a good design in either a brushed aluminum finish or a black finish to go with the rest of the theme of my car. Any help you guys and give to help find something that fits this criteria I would appreciate it. Preferrably not on Ebay since I can't not buy anything on there due to my account being hacked and I am too lazy to fight with Ebay to get it open again. It was bad enough dealing with Paypal.

I also found this one as well which looks nice. Turbo XS Shift Knob - JDMUltimate - JDMUltimate

The only other thing is that I am looking for something that will fit over the stock shifter without having to thread it. So I guess using a locking screw or something along those lines. Preferrably a ball style but will consider almost anything and decide if I like it or not and if it will benefit me while shifting.

Thanks guys.

I havent seen any around. Your best bet is to try and do a custom one.

Yeah, but I don't want something with the button on top so that I can't grip the knob with my hand well. I would prefer having the button offset to the left where the thumb will be since I can shift pulling back with my hand and fingers and palm. The thumb would be able to hold down the button during the 1st - 2nd gear shifts and then let up as I go into 3rd gear. WOT Shifting ofcourse.

But thanks man. It is still another option. Pizza is working on a setup like the one described above. I will get pics up when it gets it complete and it arrives.
