Shift Knob Extensions For Your Manual Transmission Vehicle
We have a few different styles of shift knob extensions for your manual transmission vehicle. These slightly bent extension bars raise your shift knob up a bit for easier shifting.
These are made of aircraft grade billet aluminum and anodized for a durable finish. They work with your stock shift lever, our solid replacement shifter or the 711 shifter.
Shift Lever Extensions
These shift lever extensions are designed to get your shifter a little closer to you. They come in a variety of lengths, so you can choose the perfect fit. They are also available in a variety of colors and materials. These will work with most stock shifters as well as our solid replacement shifter.
They are made from aircraft grade billet aluminum and anodized for a long lasting finish. They have an M12 x 1.25 thread pitch size and are for manual transmission vehicles only. They work by adding height to the shifter, which brings it closer to you and reduces the amount of hand travel from wheel to shifter.
Each extender is CNC machined, polished, and anodized for a scratch resistant finish. Each one includes a locating jam nut to help keep the extension in place.

Dash Mount Shift Extensions
A dash mount shift lever extension adds 4″-6″ of length to your gear selector knob, making it easier for drivers with shorter arms or less flexibility to reach and use.

These extensions also work great for anyone who JDM racing handle ring needs help reaching power switches such as the ones found on your radio, display settings, and climate control.
The addition of weight and mass helps smooth out the effect of notches and resistance points on your stock shift lever. It also provides more momentum and energy for shifting, making it easier to keep your hand in the right position to activate the proper gate pattern and counter springs that prevent jarring or uncontrolled gear selection. Some manufacturers (like Raceseng) even offer different shapes and contours for different hand sizes and shifting styles, too.
A downside to a full metal shift knob is that it can become hot to the touch when exposed to extreme summer temperatures and direct sunlight. However, this can be easily remedied by draping a rag over the knob when it’s not in use or putting on gloves in winter. A more permanent solution is to look for a hybrid shift knob that has a Delrin (plastic) outer and a solid stainless steel metal core.
