Weighted Shift knob
 
3 Attachment(s)
I bought a TWM weighted shift knob from Canada, it's made a huge difference in shifting quality. This thing weighs 1.32 pounds! :icon17: and is a bit shorter then the stock set up. I was running the Nismo one previously, which IMO is way too light, I use to mis-shift 1st to 2nd b/c of the effort it took to move it. Now I have no problems. I will upgrade to a short throw shifter later on, but I'm pretty satisfied for now. This would be a great edition to a short throw shifter.The model I got was the Desert Eagle & the color Is gun blue finish, which is actually more of a satin black.

I'm interested in one of these weighted shift knobs.

Damn, wish they had some that were leather wrapped.

I see you also had issues removing the stock knob. That thing is on way too tight.

Yes, after many attempts with a 1/2 cut radiator hose and vise grips, I said screw it and put it right on the knob. :tup:

I'm going to be the first member here to get it off with my bare hands.

Sounds inappropriate, but I'm serious.

Please post a video when you do/attempt to do this.

Holy craap! The TWM unit is $100? for a 9 oz piece of steel?

The weighted Greddy unit in black chrome with 3 different colored shift gates inserts is like $42.

I like the TWM piston design, but the price is wrong.
