Evo X shift-knob fitment begins with the transmission and shifter, not the external shape. Five-speed manual cars use a threaded M10 x 1.25 knob; a six-speed MR or TC-SST setup can use a reverse-lockout arrangement that must be verified from the product maker. A knob that shares a thread description is not automatically interchangeable between those layouts. Confirm whether the car is a five-speed manual, MR, or TC-SST before buying, then check the exact part number and seller fitment note. The products below are current US listings with distinct materials or profiles. Where a listing does not explicitly approve TC-SST use, this guide does not extend that claim.

The picks, in detail
Mitsubishi OEM Evo X Final Edition 5-Speed Shift Knob 2470A088XB
2470A088XB is the OEM Final Edition five-speed M10 x 1.25 knob listed in STM current Evo X catalog. It is for a threaded manual-shifter car, where retaining the Final Edition part number and five-speed pattern matters. It is not a reason to assume compatibility with a TC-SST reverse-lockout shifter.
- Part 2470A088XB
- OEM Final Edition five-speed designation
- XB knob thread specification is M10 x 1.25
- STM current price $164.84
- Factory Final Edition part-number route
- Five-speed application is stated in the listing
- Very high price for an OEM knob
- Do not fit to TC-SST without a fitment source
Mitsubishi OEM Leather 5-Speed Shift Knob 2470A088XA
2470A088XA is Mitsubishi’s leather five-speed M10 x 1.25 knob, not the Final Edition XB part. STM lists 2008-2015 Evo X fitment alongside earlier Evolutions. It gives a manual owner a factory leather surface, but its five-speed threaded format needs to be kept separate from a TC-SST-specific knob.
- Part 2470A088XA
- Genuine OEM leather five-speed knob
- XA factory leather knob uses M10 x 1.25
- STM current price $173.89
- Published Evo X fitment at STM
- Leather surface differs from the Final Edition part
- Costs more than the Final Edition XB listing
- Not documented here for TC-SST reverse lockout
STM Titanium Shift Knob M10 x 1.25
STM Titanium is a current $80 M10 x 1.25 knob in STM’s Evo X five-speed collection. Titanium is the material distinction, while the thread is the installation gate: verify the car has the five-speed threaded manual shifter before ordering. Do not carry a generic Evo X label across the manual and TC-SST versions.
- Titanium STM version has M10 x 1.25 internal thread
- Titanium construction
- Listed in STM Evo X five-speed collection
- Current STM price $80.00
- Material choice is distinct from aluminum and Delrin
- Current seller categorizes it with Evo X five-speed knobs
- No TC-SST fitment statement on the cited collection
- Metal feel can differ with cabin temperature
STM Billet Aluminum Shift Knob M10 x 1.25
STM’s billet aluminum knob is the simple five-speed threaded option at $25. The maker identifies its M10 x 1.25 thread and explicitly says it is not compatible with six-speed MR Evo models. That exclusion is more useful than treating it as a universal Evo X knob.
- STM-ALSK-10X125
- Billet aluminum; 5.12 oz
- STM-ALSK-10X125 denotes M10 x 1.25
- Maker says not compatible with six-speed MR Evo models
- Lowest current price among these exact knobs
- Made in the USA according to STM
- Bare aluminum can feel hotter or colder than Delrin
- Excluded by maker from six-speed MR Evo models
AMS Extended Carbon Fiber Weighted Shift Knob AMS.01.06.0107-1
AMS.01.06.0107-1 combines real carbon fiber, a threaded steel core, 304 g stated weight, and an extended shape. AMS lists M10 x 1.25 and applications for Evo 4-10 manual five- and six-speed cars. It is for a verified manual-thread application, not an assumed TC-SST fit because the listing does not make that claim.
- Part AMS.01.06.0107-1
- AMS specifies M10 x 1.25 for AMS.01.06.0107-1
- 304 g stated weight
- Real carbon fiber with steel core
- Extended height brings the knob closer to the driver
- AMS lists it in stock at $76.46
- Hand-laid carbon can show weave variation
- No cited TC-SST compatibility statement
Torque Solution Fat Head Delrin Shift Knob TS-UNI-152
Torque Solution TS-UNI-152 is the card that belongs with the six-speed MR and TC-SST-style reverse-lockout setup, not a generic GSR manual claim. STM specifies its M10 x 1.25 version for six-speed Evo 8/9/X MR and says it fits reverse-lockout shifters without an adapter or locking nut.
- Part TS-UNI-152
- Delrin polymer; 99 g stated weight
- M10 x 1.25 variant is named TS-UNI-152
- Reverse-lockout shifter design
- Maker provides a specific reverse-lockout installation note
- Delrin is positioned as temperature resistant
- Do not substitute it for a five-speed GSR solely by thread pitch
- Confirm the actual transmission and shifter before purchase
Tomei Duracon Shift Knob Type-L M10-P1.25 TF101A-0000A
Tomei TF101A-0000A is the 90 mm Duracon Type-L with M10-P1.25 thread. Its $25.20 current US listing makes it a tall polymer alternative to STM’s billet aluminum. The listing calls it universal, so an Evo X owner still has to match the five-speed manual thread rather than infer TC-SST fitment.
- Part TF101A-0000A
- 90 mm Type-L profile
- Duracon polymer
- Tomei uses the M10-P1.25 designation
- Current US seller lists it in stock at $25.20
- Taller Type-L profile differs from a round OEM knob
- Universal listing is not vehicle-specific TC-SST approval
- No shift-pattern graphic is included
COBB Mitsubishi Evo X Shift Knob 252350-BK
COBB 252350-BK is the cross-transmission pick in this group: its current application covers 2008-2015 Evolution X, and the seller states that it maintains the factory reverse lockout and works with SST. The satin Delrin upper and anodized aluminum base provide a documented alternative for an Evo X owner who has confirmed the exact application.
- Part 252350-BK
- Satin black Delrin knob and anodized aluminum base
- 113.5 g stated weight
- Maintains factory reverse lockout and works with SST
- Current application lists 2008-2015 Evolution X
- Explicit SST statement is stronger than a thread-only assumption
- Higher price than most polymer manual-thread alternatives
- Also fits Ralliart, so verify the chosen application
Buying tips
- Identify the actual transmission and shifter before ordering; do not use the broad name Evo X as a fitment answer.
- For a five-speed manual, verify M10 x 1.25 thread on both the car and the selected knob.
- For MR or TC-SST reverse-lockout hardware, use a product whose maker explicitly documents that arrangement.
- Check whether the knob retains or clears the reverse-lockout mechanism before installation.
- Use the maker’s installation instructions and do not force a knob that starts to cross-thread.
- Compare height and weight against the stock knob; a taller weighted knob changes reach and feel.
