Why are they usually expensive. Most of the ones i see are anywhere between 40-120$. All it is is a knob????

Material, balance, weight, jdm mark up.

Shift knobs can actually make a really big difference in the feel of the car when shifting.

Mine was free! Took it from Advanced Auto Parts after purchasing a **** load of cleaners. Figured their overpriced products made up for the shift knob
