m4nn13 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) So I've had one of the classic knobs on for a while now that came with the car when I bought it (looks like a Mopedmark classic) along with the standard one. Love the weight but I've always found it a bit of an odd shape to hold (just a personal opinion nothing wrong with it at all). So after a quick message to Torqen manage to bag one of these: A quick comparison side by side: And while I was at it, one if these for my slowly tidying engine bay: Have to say after driving around today I prefer a bigger end to a narrow one (ooohhh yyyeeeaaahhhh)! Weight wise it feels fractionaly lighter but still better than the original stock and lovely to shift with!

mr v6 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Glad you like it. I looked at many before getting the mopedmark one, I've not looked back. The weight is perfect, as are the markings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NazMan Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 It is undeniably a beautifully machined gear knob, but the “South Bend Clutch” decal just makes it look tacky in my opinion and has absolutely no connection with a 350Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I wanted a hebi bebi but give up looking. Settled for a nismo gt titanium which is really good. Really improves the gear shift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one too, lovely bit of kit and as you say, totally improves the shift. So what exactly is South Bend Clutch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what exactly is South Bend Clutch? Yeah that's the one. I really like it. Good weight and the finish is nice. And i I haven't got a clue either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4nn13 Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) I believe south bend make clutches and have had a few of these knobs made for Torqen, but I thought it looked kinda cool and a bit different so gave one a go and it's great to be fair! I've also got the oem and the mophead mark special so can chop and change when i fancy it now but i'll be honest the shape of this new south bend one I love so.it won't be coming off for a bit!
