My Core model came with the leather wrapped knob as an interior option i guess (along with the all weather mats and door sill protectors). My father’s is a base core with no options, so just the plain knob. While i think the upgraded knob looks better, it’s way too large in diameter for my hand. The plain base knob is smaller and much more comfortable to me.

I measured mine with a set of calipers, and while i don’t remember the exact measurement it was over 2” maybe over 2.25”. That said I’ve got a 1.75” Grimspeed delrin knob coming that is rumored to work with our backup-lockout ring.

Hopefully it fits fine, as that’s my main gripe with the car at this point. I’ll be glad to update with pics or definite specs of my current knob and the replacement if anyone is interested.

Delrin is the way. If I bag my CE the Morizo shift knob is the first thing coming off the car. Post pics when you get it. I like Cobb’s Suby Delrin knob the best. That’s what I ran on my STi and RS.
 
I hope so. I’ve never had a delrin knob, and i do like a weighted feel… But i live in the south, any metal part is gonna be scorching during the summer.
 
Anyone here know
1. Part number for the leather wrapped one?
2. If this fits a GR86? I think itd be amazing on mine
I read somewhere that the Corolla (GR or standard) shift knobs are not compatible with the 86. Our stuff is compatible with like the Focus RS, or the other Subaru (WRX) style shift knobs. Apparently just the 86/BRZ platform is the oddball. Still waiting on my delrin knob to come in and check the fit. It’s for a Subaru but supposedly our reverse lockout will fit fine.
 
Finally received the delrin knob I had ordered that fits WRX style 6mt with reverse lockout. It does not come anywhere close to fitting over our reverse lockout collar. I have access to a lathe, so I believe I can open it up to fit as there is plenty of material there, but i can’t recommend a Subaru style knob for our cars.

Some people may have already known that, but never having a 6mt Subaru, i really didn’t know what to expect with this knob.
 
Ok, so in pursuit of helping the community i ordered a couple more shifts knobs to confirm fitment for our cars. It seems that our cars backup lockout setup is very similar/identical to the Focus RS/ST.

The only knob i tried for that setup was the Grimmspeed Stubby in delrin and it fits like a glove. According to Grimmspeed it is dimensionally identical to their stainless steel knob if you want something weighted as well.

I’ll try to get some good pics tomorrow with a set of calipers to show diameter, but it is smaller than the one that came with the car, so my search is over.
 
This aluminum Mustang knob I found on ebay has the correct 12mm 1.25 threads and shift pattern, and fits perfectly, including the recess for the reverse lockout.

 
i panic bought a morizo knob when I heard they might be vin locked... I'm really not a fan. it sits higher and makes the throw noticably longer. the weight also amplifies the sloppiness... back to core knob for me, I'll keep the morizo as a center price or something on the shelf.

edit: I dunno what knob I have, I didn't want the alcantara bc that would get torn up on a daily if I didn't wear gloves 😂 it's the circuit edition one with the morizo signature since it's leather.

How does the height compare to the Core knob? Mine came with the leather/unsigned Morizo knob, and the shifts feel pretty long. Wondering if a knob swap would help.

I think the installed height is virtually identical to the oem knob.

coming from cars with short shifters (t3 in t50, cubespeed in w55 and oem+ sti in the 6mt Crosstrek) maybe im sensitive to it. it's maybe 1-2 cm in height difference. but at the end of a fulcrum, that can be a lot...

having both on back to back (all the way down) they are not the same height. unless my signed morizo leather is different 😂
 
vs a core or Morizo knob?
