ratchet strap + microfiber wrapped around knob = stock knob taken cleanly off.
team voodoo pearl shift knob sits quite a bit lower which makes it feel like a short shift without swapping any real hardware.
without that zee toyz shift collar it sits another 1/2" lower. one of the bettwer investments i've made on the car. the shorter, metal shift knob definately makes for a more positive feel when shifting thru the gears. i love it
