Weighted Countersunk Shift Knob
TC4 Aerospace Grade / Type S Interpretation
Abstract
A high-fidelity alternative to the discontinued NSX Type S component, meticulously engineered for the modern driver. Mirroring the exceptional tactile feedback of the original 02R/Type-S units, our countersunk knob integrates modern manufacturing precision with a significant 280g weighted mass to facilitate smoother gear engagement.
Grade 5 Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V)
Technical Data
| Material | Precision CNC Machined TC4 Titanium |
| Static Weight | 280 Grams (Increased Inertia) |
| Countersunk | 12mm Bore Depth |
| Finish | Machine-Lustre Aerospace Grade |
Shift Kinetics
The 280g mass provides the necessary momentum to glide through the gate, enhancing the feel of both cable-driven and direct-linkage transmissions. By countersinking the bore 12mm, we allow for a lower seating position on the lever, effectively shortening the throw and sharpening shift response.
| Aluminum (Al) | 5.48% |
| Vanadium (V) | 3.95% |
| Iron (Fe) | 0.30% |
| Titanium (Ti) | Balance |
Optimized for 2002+ geometry. Compatible with factory and extended thread selectors, allowing the knob to sit lower and reducing throw distance on cable-driven transmissions.
Positions 12mm higher than standard to provide improved leverage and a mechanical shifting feel specific to the S2000 longitudinal linkage.
Advisory: This knob replicates 2002 Type-S geometry and is not compatible with the “clip-in” boots found on 1991–2001 NSX models. Use with NSX-R or Type-S shift boots is recommended for proper fitment.
