Description
Worn shift knobs with faded patterns and stripped threads are more than cosmetic problems - they compromise shift accuracy and driver confidence. The R-Series 6-Speed Shift Ball delivers the durability and precision your build demands, constructed from specially formulated high-impact polymer resin designed to handle performance-level torque loads and temperature extremes without cracking, fading, or becoming tacky in summer heat.
What separates this shift ball from generic alternatives is the subsurface graphic process. The white racing stripe and 6-speed shift pattern are embedded within the polymer during manufacturing - not silk-screened, etched, or applied as a surface coating. They physically cannot wear off, no matter how many shifts you bang through. The 16mm x 1.50 brass master insert provides the foundation for this durability, exceeding the auto industry's specification of 200 ft-lb static pull and 20 ft-lb twist torque testing.
At 2-1/8" diameter and 4 ounces, this shift ball strikes the ideal balance between palm-filling grip and controlled shift momentum. The high-gloss black finish resists scratches and maintains its showroom appearance through daily driving or weekend track sessions. The included jam nut locks the ball securely to your shift lever, eliminating loosening during aggressive shifting.
Thread adapters are available separately if your shift lever uses a different thread pitch than the 16mm x 1.50 master insert - contact MDL's tech team if you need help identifying your lever's thread size. Built in the USA by a manufacturer that has been shifting gears since 1952, bringing OEM-level quality and precision to classic, custom, and hot rod applications.
