Review: *New* Maven Countersunk Shift Knob

[Mayuga]

Hello fellow members I will be reviewing the Maven (Countersunk) Shiftknob made by "Fastline Performance" which can be purchased at Heeltoeauto.

Well I dropped by Heeltoeauto today to get my HT Spec Ver. 2 Installed, and happen to lay my eyes on Fastline Performance's New Countersunk Maven Shiftknob and after I heard what was the difference between the Countersunk and the Standard... I had to have it!

What is the difference you ask, well I already have the Maven Standard shift knob which is the exact same thing but the threading is different. The threading for the "Countersunk" shift knob does not start till 3/4's of a inch inside the knob so it will actually not just sit flush with your shift boot but lower your shifter more than half a inch as well!

I took a few pictures to help you compare the Standard Maven Shiftknob to the New Maven Countersunk Shiftknob:

So after looking at the pictures you can instantly tell the difference between the two shift knobs, and when driving the throws for shifting feel a lot shorter as well. A great mod and it also comes in 3 different finish styles (Aluminum, Black Chrome, & Polished). I myself went with the the Aluminum to go w/ the rest of the Black and Aluminum interior.

my blue razo is counter sunk, but i prefer longer shifters, that way its a bit easier to reach.

Yeah I originally posted it on my TSX forum to give a review about it, but I figured that I would post it on other Honda forums since we all share the same thread pitch. Sorry encase its causing any problems.

Yeah I created the EP account back in 08 for my sister since she drives a EP. But since I bought this shift knob for my TSX, thought I would just share it with other honda forums as well.

so late bump. but question! Does this mean no shift adapter or CTR boot is needed?

[Blah1219]

The ctr boot will be clean with that knob. Or you can mod the stock boot since adapter will be in the way.

That knob is sexy, I'm not into the ball looking shift knobs.
