Blox is a good brand, TWM is also another good brand, fatboy, this is a replica TK, and a weighted Nismo knob should be all better than stock as in weight.

ive read that this tranny fluids are only good for some time then it goes back to being crunchy/notchy feeling when shifting. i dont know how true that is

I've read all the mixed opinions on transmission fluid. Some say redline is very good some say it's crap. Others suggest to stay with OEM. And there is something to do with the thickness and temperature. And why there hasn't so many people tried Motul Gear 300 yet? Is it not good?

How does a weighted shift knob help the shifting?

The added momentum helps get the car in gear. Trust me, it made a bigger difference then I thought it would.

But it seems hard to find one that looks similar to the stock shift knob (who's shape is perfect for me), The pokeballs and skulls and pistons seem a little juvenile to me and rob the Z of some sexiness.

Lots of knobs if not most do not have that. Here is mine. Way sexier then stock imo but thats all a personal choice.
