Shift knob: momo and sparco

A race car is like a human body, everything is connected to work as one. The shift knob is connected to the shifter, the shifter is a specially designed rod that links the shift knob to the linkage cable and the linkage cable travels from the transmission bell housing to the lower shifter linkage. When you shift from gear to gear, the shifter pulls the linkage cable. Depending on what direction you are forcing the shifter it will pull the linkage cable that then forces the switching of gears. To a normal everyday driver a shift knob may not be an important thing. To an automotive enthusiast, the shift knob is important.

A well constructed shift knob will fit perfectly in ones hand. The Sparco shift knob is designed to fit directly in ones palm. The reason you want the shift knob to fit perfectly and comfortably in your hand is simple. If you do not have a good grip on the shifter, you may be prone to miss-shifts.
