DESCRIPTION
SMOOTHER SHIFTING!
With the weight in all the right places, Ashiko redefines your shifting experience through the look and feel of how you shift into gear. You will experience smoother and faster shifts!
HOW?
Well, to put it as simply as we can, the heavier the knob, the easier it will make shifting feel. Its not magic, its physics. Weight in motion directly relates to how an object will react to an opposing force. In this case, the opposing force is the gate pattern and counter springs that are connected to your shift arm that tell you the shift pattern of your car. The difference felt when shifting into the next gear requires far less effort due to the additional momentum created by the increased mass.
TRANSLUCENT FINISH
The translucent finish is achieved thru a meticulous powder coating process which includes multiple stages of careful hand work. The shift knobs are brush finished by hand to create a consistent horizontal brush pattern. To achieve the translucent effect, we apply a coat of electrostatically charged clear powder that is tinted to our desired color. Then the shift knob is precisely baked at a specific temperature to create a super smooth, durable and translucent finish!
