EmZvr Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Recently I bought a MB6 gear knob. I have never seen it in person, but in pictures it looked good. When I received it I founds two problems.First I thought it's leather, but it appears it only looks like that. It's the same material as the stock one. Is there an oem leather one at all, maybe EK4 ? Apart from not being leather there is another problem, it's not comfortable. I didn't notice it at first but when I drove my friend's MB1 with the stock knob it felt more comfortable. Am I the only one feeling the same way ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Brown Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I personally prefer the feel of the MB6 gearknob but its all down to preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmZvr Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Put up photos buddy Well okay, but I currently have only my phone to shoot. It's just the standard vti gear knob. I looked for oem leather gear knob and I can't find any. I guess I have to put leather on my stock one. I personally prefer the feel of the MB6 gearknob but its all down to preference. Yep, that's true. I can see it as more comfortable if you grab the gear knob with your fingers. But I form a cup with my palm and it is more comfortable with more round gear knobs.

Krzys Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I don't think any of the Civic's had leather ones, well not that I'm aware of anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 personaly I love the stainless VTiS knob, only downside is a couple of times ive jumped in and burnt my hand on it when the car has been sitting in the sun lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summers here are very hot and I don't have a garage. Every time I get in I can barely touch my steering wheel, I can't imagine what it would be like if I had a metal gear knob And unfortunately most aftermarket gearknobs are metal.

Krzys Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The other VTi-S one is like a half plastic half leatherette thing, nice to use when it's hot or cold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more comfortable to use than the standard VTi knob. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
