A good shift knob really makes a difference when driving. The stock knob on the FR-S is not terrible. But I never really liked all of the stitching on it and the convex face that seemed like it was just in the way. The TRD Shift Knob has stitching as well, but only on the palm side of the knob (facing the rear). It also doesn’t feel as intrusive as the stitching on the stock part.
I bought mine at Japan Parts. The TRD shift knob is lighter than the stock one. It’s a little wider and shorter too. Below are the dimensions of both knobs.
Knob Type | Width (mm) | Height (mm) |
Stock | 48.33 | 58.59 |
TRD | 53.63 | 53.25 |
