RYANSTAR Gear Shift Knob Sword Shift Knobs Katana Samural Shift Gear Lever Universal Compatible with Manual Cars Most Automatic Cars with 4 Adapters Black+Gold

Let's be real there's enough pictures of this from others and they're all the same... you know what it looks like. NOW why does it deserve 5 stars though? OK... it's got metal so it isn't %100 plastic which already tells me it isn't completely cheap stuff that's gonna fall apart. It's solid, and the pieces that come with it are multipurpose for most vehicles. SUPER easy to install, the hardest part will be removing your original piece. If you get the cloth attachment like... ya know... MOST OF US DID haha... just remember to put it on FIRST!!! That made me install this thing twice so that's my fault not the products. ANYWAYS... where was I? oh yeah it's beautiful design, easy installment and functionality. It's rock solid and won't bend with simple use so unless you're trying to punch it or rip an invisible katana out of your car it will sit still and perform perfectly. Don't touch the top on a hot day... unless you wanna brand yourself but i ain't gonna take a star off for my stupidity. Great design for the affordable price and so easy to install. Everyone loves to see it (even my mechanics smile every time i bring it in).

Looks cool and raised the shifter for easier reach as well. Perfect for our little Suzuki Jimny (Samurai)

Overall, it’s a good product (this review might seem otherwise, but it truly is a good product). It’s not 100% metal, which has its pros and cons. The pros: doesn’t weigh a lot so there’s no added stress on the gear shift, universal fit so even though my cars shifter is not threaded the katana still fit with the right rubber adapter and screws that come with this item. Since it’s light weight, I feel the transitions from park to reverse to drive etc is flawless. The install of this product was very easy. Cons: the katana does not slide down very far on the gear shift so the handle does sit pretty high (blocks the A/C and part of the touch screen while the vehicle is in park, see attached picture) and it’s not 100% metal so I’m sure wear and tear will be slightly quicker over time. The handle is plastic and the bottom plate of the katana is loose and slides right off. While the car is in drive, I have had several accidental tiptronic/manumatic triggers. This happens because the handle is long and since it doesn’t sit down far enough, you can easily bump the gear shift to the side, causing the tiptronic/manumatic system to initiate, throwing the vehicle into a manual gear. The size of the handle is perfect, as you can put approximately a hand and a half on the handle (if you were holding it as a sword). I just wish the handle could slide down about 2-3 inches lower, then it would be perfect. The screws on the handle do show and stick out a tad, but that’s not a issue for me. The color of the bottom plate is a strong bronze color, while the metal plate on the handle has a more chrome color (slightly bronze), then the bottom is a true chrome color (the metal that connects to the gear shift rod). I would like all the metal parts to be consistent in color, but each piece is a different color. I plan on doing some work to the handle in order to get the whole katana to sit further down and to have a better look. Good concept product, just needed a bit more work to have a overall better product. I recommend this item, but keep the cons I listed in mind. This does fit my 2013 Dodge Charger R/T (non threaded gear shift).

To start off, this looks amazing! I mean a katana handle as a shifter?! Yes please. The stock shifter (round ball) felt odd every time I upshifted or downshifted and sometimes it would come off and that irritated me cuz I’d have to use a second or two to place it on again. With this having several hexagonal screws keeping it in place, I won’t have that issue. As depicted above, I have my hand place at a comfortable position to which I normally would drive, the second photo is my hand at the base, just to show how much handle is left above if you were to place your hand there. Not to mention, it’s easier for me to push with my thumb and pull with my index to shift, with the stock shifter it felt awkward but functional grabbing the round shifter. If your thinking about grabbing this to up the look of your car, then with out a doubt buy it. The package came with the handle itself, an Allen wrench to tighten the hexagonal screws and 4 adapters depending on the thickness of your shifter’s rod. I personally didn’t use the adapters as my mini cooper’s rod was thick to the point that I didn’t need them. Easy installation, just pop in the adapter that fits if you need it, on to the rod and tighten the screws, bam your done! Amazing product, my friends think it’s really cool.

I don't exactly slam into each gear, but I do occasionally get aggressive with shifts when passing, etc.. No stress fractures or anything thus far. I have to tighten the hex screws about once a month when I feel it start to jiggle. The plastic hand guard piece was loose and caused a rattle when my bass hit but a little super glue fixed that.

I loved the look of this item, and got compliments on it. However, it's made of cheap materials and lasted about 4 months of regular driving before falling apart. The set screws never really tightened enough so I was constantly twisting it back straight

All my passengers found it really cool as a gear shifter
