For decades, the TOMEI USA shift knob has been loved by drivers around the world — a true classic.
Its history and reliability stand as proof of an enduring bond between driver and machine.
It’s a part that grows more personal with every drive — this is where genuine value is found
The material TOMEI USA has trusted for years is Duracon (POM resin) — the foundation of the “TOMEI feel.”
This unique resin combines lightness, strength, and warmth — a perfect match for any driving environment.
・Lightweight yet remarkably strong
・Comfortable temperature in any season
・Smooth, quiet operation
・Beautiful and durable finish
・Naturally fitting, grippy feel
・Precision-cut threads for a secure fit
・Lightweight design for an enhanced sense of unity with the car
Why does TOMEI USA insist on this material?–
Because it delivers the feeling that driver and car become one.
Beyond materials, TOMEI USA’s design philosophy is embedded in every curve and contour.
・Naturally contoured curvature that follows your fingertips
・Height tuned to the natural balance of the hand
・Zero-step surface with a precisely embedded acrylic logo plate
・TOMEI logo that floats – etched in smoked translucent logo plate
・Micro-adjusted tape thickness to prevent finger snagging
It’s not just designed to look beautiful —
it’s designed to feel right.
That’s the essence of TOMEI USA craftsmanship.
The Three Core Benefits of a Dedicated Design
1️⃣ Ultimate Rigidity and Unity
By eliminating the need for an adapter, any play or looseness at the joint is completely removed.
The metal shift lever and knob act as one, transferring your input directly to the gearbox.
That instant, precise response you feel — that’s the mark of a true direct-thread structure.
2️⃣ Secure Fit — Trusted Even in Racing Conditions
No worries about “loosening” or “off-center alignment,” issues common with adapter-style setups.
Even under high-speed or circuit driving with constant vibration, the knob stays firmly in place.
This level of security is exactly why professional drivers trust TOMEI.
3️⃣Perfect Height and Balance as Designed
Without the added thickness of an adapter, the knob’s position, height, and balance remain exactly as engineered — down to the millimeter.
The result is a natural, seamless feel — as if the shift lever were simply an extension of your hand.
