Weighted Countersunk Shift Knob
Grade 5 Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) / 280g Weighted Mass
Abstract
After experiencing the precision of the NSX Type S, we were thoroughly impressed by the tactile feedback of its shift knob. With the OEM component no longer available, we have meticulously engineered a high-fidelity alternative. This component mirrors the exceptional quality of the original while integrating modern manufacturing precision.
Aerospace Grade TC4 Titanium Alloy
Weight: 280g
Countersunk Depth: 12mm
Engineering Profile
Machined Billet Titanium
Utilizing Grade 5 Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V), chosen for its superior hardness and tensile strength compared to unalloyed “pure” titanium. This material ensures long-term durability against surface wear while providing the signature metallic tactile feel.
- • Aerospace Grade Billet (Φ80mm)
- • 12mm Countersunk Bore
- • High-Precision CNC Machined
Inertial Mass Advantage
Weighing in at 280g, this knob offers significant improvements in shifting kinetics. The added mass creates positive inertia for smoother gear engagement, enhancing overall driver control. It is designed as a versatile upgrade for both the NSX and S2000 platforms.
- • 280g Static Weight
- • Enhanced Gear Engagement
- • Reduced Shift Effort
Metallurgical Validation
Verification of chemical composition to ensure high-strength alloy compliance (Ti-6Al-4V).
| Aluminum (Al) | 5.48% |
| Vanadium (V) | 3.95% |
| Iron (Fe) | 0.30% |
| Oxygen (O) | 0.20% |
| Nitrogen (N) | 0.02% |
| Carbon (C) | 0.038% |
| Titanium (Ti) | Balance |
Laboratorial analysis conducted via Aerospace Materials Testing Division. Material verified as Qualified Titanium Alloy Bar (TC4) for high-load applications.
Chassis Integration
Specific fitment notes regarding throw distance and lever height for compatible Honda platforms.
NSX Installation
Compatible with both the factory and extended straight thread gear selectors. The extended selector allows the knob to sit lower, reducing throw distance—ideal for the NSX’s cable-driven transmission architecture.
S2000 Installation
Designed to sit 12mm higher than the standard knob and 25mm higher than the CR ball knob. This elevated position provides improved leverage and a more precise, mechanical shifting feel specific to the S2000 linkage.
This shift knob replicates the factory 2002 Type-S model geometry. It is not designed for use with the “clip-in” feature found on 1991-2001 NSX shift boots. For optimal fit and finish, we recommend pairing this component with NSX-R or Type-S shift boots
