12 Creative Options For Your Jeep Shift Knob (With Links), Ranked By Price

When you brainstorm mods for your Jeep, don’t neglect one of the most often used parts of your vehicle: the shift knob. Replacing your Jeep shift knob is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to add personality and style to the interior of your Jeep. A shift knob is also one of the most functional aftermarket Jeep products. If you’ve outgrown your current knob, JEDCo shares 12 creative options in a price-ranked list.

Reasons to change your stock shift knob

Style

Let’s be honest: Jeep factory shift knobs are pretty dang boring. Upgrading your shifter knob will help make the interior of your Jeep as unique as you are. The good news is you’ve got tons of cool options, from sleek and stylish to playful and quirky. You can find the shift knob that’s right for you.

Durability

If you give your Jeep the love it deserves, you drive it a lot, which means your shifter knob can get worn out. This is true if you just drive an auto but especially true if you own a manual and have done enough white-knuckle rides on the trail. A good aftermarket shift knob will be made of durable materials—like billet aluminum—that could last the entire lifetime of your Jeep.

Grip Preference

Get a grip: If you’re driving a manual transmission in the middle of a steep climb or running downhill, you don’t want to miss a gear. You need a firm grip to maintain control of your Jeep. Upgrading your shifter knob can provide a better tactile feel and an enhanced grip when you’re shifting gears. A weighted shift knob can give you faster shifts too for a better driving experience.

Before you upgrade, make sure you know your Jeep’s shifter knob thread size. JK and JL Wranglers shift knobs just pop off with no thread, so you’ll need to get an adapter for most aftermarket knobs. Here is a handy chart by American Shifter (and while you’re there, make sure you check out their impressive product page). You can also get adapters from Speed Dawg or Twisted Shifterz, who both make some of the most excellent quality accessories in the United States. The YJ thread size is 3/8-16 while the TJ, the Unlimited, and the Grand Cherokee are 10mm by 1.50. Knob removal should be easy but for installation, you may need a lock nut.
