Putting the price aside (which is crazy high in my opinion) and just focusing on the knob itself, the shape is one of the best feeling shift knobs shapes I have ever felt. The top round portion is perfect for shifting into 1st, 3rd and 5th, while the ridges allow you to grab with your fingers tips to pull back into second and fourth.

couldn't describe it any better cooltoy. Other than that its 509grams which is one of the heavier knobs out there for its size. It is made of brass steel and the feel of it is like slicing through warm butter with a chef's knife.

One thing with it unless the remakes were fixed, is that you will have to put a washer under the knob on the shifter to be able to get the turtle straight. I haven't done it yet but I plan to when a washer comes along

I just used a small amount of loctite and it holds very well. I didn't use nearly as much as Nissan used on the OEM knob lol.
