got mine on this past weekend. i didnt get a chance to take any pics but i like how it feels. i didnt actually weigh the black aluminium but ill say it is def lighter than the stock leather shifter but not by too much. still has a solid weight to it, idk if thats good or bad. i like how it looks and feels so far but its taking a little getting used to cause its much much different than the stock one.

good or bad depends on your preference. i like my knobs usually heavier than stock to aid in getting into the gates smoother but if you're not having issues then that's a

the slimmer knob does feel quite different from stock but when you go back to your stock knob it feels like a raquet ball or something... im really diggin this titanium knob!

Glad to hear you guys are lovin' it. I've had mine on now for about 500 miles. I love it. WAY better than stock. I 'feel' my shifts better now, and it's relatively shorter in height and row distance than stock. Plus I get compliments all the time on it by folks that see the set up.

So putting the duct tape on the knob worked (Thanks FromG2Z

) but not how I imagined. Kenchan thanks also!

Wrapped the knob up in duct tape but it didn't really budge. Took the tape off and now the knob was sticky. Used one of my Terry cloths on the knob..strap wrench and OMG....it started to turn.

Camera is kinda crappy and too much flash, it looks much better in person...matches well in the interior. The feel is soooo different, but I think I like it...will drive to work tomorrow.

Looks awesome GreatOne. When I see the black titanium, it just reminds me of a shadow...so cool looking!

WTF Argh!!

Maybe I got kenchan's "refurbished" wrench...

I don't think lifting weights will help me with this.

That home depot one looks stronger.

I really do want to preserve the original shifter... right?

I lol'ed

TheGreatOne · 05-25-2011, 11:08 PM

I lol'd too

As for the one's I got from Home Depot (Husky) I used the smaller of the 2 strap wrench's that come in the package.

I think using the Terry Cloth over the knob was the equal of Duane Johnson putting his hand one top of mine while I turned the wrench lol.

I installed this yesterday. Shredded the stock knob with a pair of channel locks. Oh well, hated the stock shift knob anyways...
Car shifts way better and feels more like a "sports car".

kenchan · 05-29-2011, 11:57 AM

congrats again, nynhex!

Is this the one you all picked up for $148?

Wonder why it looks so shiny here?
