Sparco Manual Gear Shift Knob Lazio Black/Red Universal

Very pleased with the gear knob, very ergonomic, well-made and looks great in the car in my opinion, a new MX5

The gear knob itself is great quality and looks really good! However the plastic universal fitting used to fit it to a variety of gear sticks is very weak and mine broke/wore down within a few weeks meaning the knob just twisted around all the time so ended up taking it off.

The metalwork at the bottom of the gearknob isn’t the best quality - poor finishing (rough edges) and lack of coating/paint overspray on the edges. There’s no threaded head, so it’s just held on with 3 small grub screws that aren’t easy to access. Also, the description says that it is suitable for a trigger reverse, but it’s not suitable for a Ford pull-up trigger reverse. The metal section covers 95% of the trigger making it hard to operate, plus the lift spring is exposed through the hole in the middle, which just looks rubbish. Returned for a refund.

The metal section dropped off the leather top. (not well made.)

Just what I was expecting.

The quality is good not the greatest thing u can have but for that price is really good. I installed it on ford focus 2015 and installation required a bit of creativity as the lift-reverse mechanism didn’t work properly. I managed to fit it and didn’t need anything to buy extra such as an adapter. How ever the gear is slightly higher. The spring in the gear is visible (through the gap on the bottom of the knob) which is not good so i need to cover it somehow. The thing is, this made to be general and it is quite good honestly but don’t panic if it didn’t work in first place. Just play with it and be creative to fit it. Overall, it is nice knob and feels comfortable and sporty.

As quality of the knob is superb, looks great and feels good while changing gears... Now fitting and assembling is easy but unfortunately system used to mount and materials as aluminium do not last to long. I bought mine 2 weeks ago and it's loose already, tried to tighten it up a bit and aluminium thread did not cope with it very well... Will not recommend it if you driving a lot as will not last. Looks cool thou.

99% of compatibility, kia Ceed obviously part 1%. Sparco it's not rocket science to get your product to fit 100%. Make the collar that homes the grub screws longer and put another set of screw options underneath so the adapter can be used at different heights allowing lift up reverse to work!! Apparently its compatible (not).Horrendous gear knob, terrible fitting and would love a refund but wrecked the collars & adapters so cant really send back! Took 2hrs to fit, finding ways of making it sturdy.....hate it & will be burning it as soon as I get a replacement.
