Is it me or is the delrin shift knob seem much smaller in person than in pics? If it is just me, do one of you mind measuring how long the shift knob is?

IMO, i think the stock knob is little heavier. but once you have it on, you cant really tell.

when i got mine, i thought it was a joke. but once i installed it, it look taller and bigger then the stock knob. If i remembered correctly, i measured the knob with stock and they were the same height, but the stock one was fatter.

Yep! I thought it would go nice with the other silver accents inside. The black one looks nice too though.

I used my man hand grip and twisted it off... not a scratch on it.

i was just prepared to order one of these, since i had to pull my trans out today i was expecting to have to destroy my stock knob. well, it just unthreaded and turned right off, no problem at all. i think everyone else must be crazy!!!

I see, yeah so I'm not crazy haha.
It does look better when installed

I wish they made the washer thing on top of the knob made out of derlin, it was extremely hot in a hot day.

Put my trans back in the other day. Here is the silver with titanium colored base.

Have a quick question, I'm looking to buying a used z, and the prev owner installed a cheap aftermarket knob. It's the screw on type that's held by Allen screws. One thing I noticed was the shift boot was hanging off the knob, how do you get it back on the bottom of the knob?

Also I was hearing some rattling from the shifter when going into high rpms, might be from the loose shift boot.
