Does anyone know roughly how much the stock shift knob weighs? I am just trying to get an idea for what a heavier knob might feel like in relation to the weight of the stock knob.

I have a Nismo shift knob and I like it a lot better than the stock knob. The Nismo knob is lighter and shorter. I do plan powder coating it silver to mach the interior trim in the car.:ugh2:

i kinda wanted the PWjdm, but i thought that it weighed more than the stock knob, not less. i feel like id want something heavier. i find the stock knob a little notchy as it is.

yea i was actually kind of bummed when i unscrewed the stock knob and held it in one hand with the PW:JDM one in another. no one seemed to mention it in any of the other threads.

I was also surprised by the heft of the stock knob. But I've never been a fan of the uber heavy knobs. I like the notchiness of the Z linkage, and don't think a couple of ounces either way would make a difference in how it feels.

Shift know preference is so subjective (unlike, say, exhaust systems ;-)

i just feel like they market hte pw jdm shift knob as if its heavier. i mean, i guess they are really just saying 'its just the right weight' but i find the stock knob a little light, so their idea of 'just of the right weight' might be a little too light. dunno. i feel like i might just buy one anyway.

ProfessorDave, what color is your password jdm shift knob - silver or titanium? Thanks in advance :tup:

Silver (see pic on first page). Goes great with the silver accents of the interior:tup:

I do like this knob alot and think I might give it a try. I was debating on titanium with black base or all black. We'll see what happens :ugh2:

Also, I read your DIY to fix the rattle. What size rubber grommet did you use? It looks like it is a perfect fit.

I originally wanted the silver knob with the titanium base, but they were out of the base. I'm good with the black base:tup:

Check out my DIY to fix the rattle some of us have had. Easy DIY.
