New Knob

[m4nn13]

So I've had one of the classic knobs on for a while now that came with the car when I bought it (looks like a Mopedmark classic) along with the standard one. Love the weight but I've always found it a bit of an odd shape to hold (just a personal opinion nothing wrong with it at all). So after a quick message to Torqen manage to bag one of these:

 

 

A quick comparison side by side:

 

 

And while I was at it, one if these for my slowly tidying engine bay:

 

 

Have to say after driving around today I prefer a bigger end to a narrow one (ooohhh yyyeeeaaahhhh)! Weight wise it feels fractionaly lighter but still better than the original stock and lovely to shift with!

Glad you like it. I looked at many before getting the mopedmark one, I've not looked back. The weight is perfect, as are the markings.

It is undeniably a beautifully machined gear knob, but the “South Bend Clutch” decal just makes it look tacky in my opinion and has absolutely no connection with a 350Z.

I wanted a hebi bebi but give up looking. 

 

Settled for a nismo gt titanium which is really good. Really improves the gear shift.

That the dumpy metal one? I had one too, lovely bit of kit and as you say, totally improves the shift.

 

So what exactly is South Bend Clutch?

Yeah that's the one. I really like it. Good weight and the finish is nice. 

 

And i I haven't got a clue either.

I believe south bend make clutches and have had a few of these knobs made for Torqen, but I thought it looked kinda cool and a bit different so gave one a go and it's great to be fair! I've also got the oem and the mophead mark special so can chop and change when i fancy it now but i'll be honest the shape of this new south bend one I love so.it won't be coming off for a bit!
