A taller shift knob for the MX-5. This is a preference item rather than a repair — nothing has failed, you simply want the lever ending somewhere else.
The Miata’s shifter sits low and the throw is famously short. Extending the knob upward brings the grip closer to the wheel and steepens the angle of your wrist, which some drivers find quicker and others dislike intensely. It is genuinely a matter of hand size and seating position rather than one being correct.
Worth noting it changes the mechanical feel slightly: a longer knob adds leverage, so the shift becomes a fraction lighter and a fraction less precise.
Fitment: MX-5, 1989–2005. Specify the height you want and confirm your thread. If you are running an aftermarket short shifter, mention it — the combination changes the ergonomics considerably.
