Momo Manual Transmission Shift Knob

MOMO Shift Knobs: Where Italian Racing Heritage Meets Your Gear Lever

Few brands carry the motorsport credibility of MOMO. Founded in 1964 by Italian gentleman racer Gianpiero Moretti, the company built its reputation by putting superior grip and tactile precision into the hands of the world's greatest drivers — from John Surtees to Ayrton Senna to Michael Schumacher. That same obsession with the driver's interface extends directly into MOMO's lineup of manual transmission shift knobs, where decades of motorsport refinement translate into something you feel on every single gear change.

The Heritage Series: Retro Looks, Modern Engineering

One of MOMO's most celebrated shift knob offerings is the Heritage series — a line that uses modern manufacturing technology to faithfully recreate the iconic MOMO shift knobs of the past, while also introducing new designs inspired by classic sports cars. Materials like polished chrome and rich mahogany woodgrain give Heritage knobs a distinctive identity that suits vintage restorations, restomods, and any enthusiast who values authenticity as much as performance.

Street Shift Knobs: Refined for Daily and Track Use

Beyond the Heritage line, MOMO produces street-oriented shift knobs engineered for comfort and control across a wide range of manual-transmission vehicles. Models like the Race Airleather have earned a loyal following among enthusiasts who appreciate the way a well-balanced, properly sized knob transforms the feel of every manual shift — reducing fatigue on long drives and adding confidence during spirited driving. MOMO's shift knobs are designed to match the ergonomic philosophy behind their famous steering wheels: every contact point between driver and machine matters.

Universal Fitment & Quality Construction

MOMO manual transmission shift knobs are built for broad compatibility. Many models feature a self-tapping insert with an Allen-head set screw, allowing fitment on virtually any shifter handle up to 18 mm or 3/4 in. in diameter — making them a true universal upgrade regardless of your make or model. Construction materials range from genuine leather to polished aluminum and wood composites, reflecting the same premium standards MOMO applies to every product in its catalog.
