For some transmissions I'd agree, but on the 370z's manual I see little/no benefit to it.

Thanks for the input, I have never driven another Z with a weighted shift knob, so I couldn't agree or disagree what feels better for our cars. I have driven an FC rx7 that came stock with a weighted knob. I switched out for an lighter aftermarket knob and it just did not feel right.

If you want more weight, get the stainless steel version. Weight is listed as 526 grams. $75 vs TK price...

Weighted knob is better in my opinion. I switched back from weighted (password jdm) knob to stock.

I love the stock knob, but sometimes it rattles at high rpm.

ill add mine to the thread:

stainless steel sphere, blue bronze finish, laser 6MT etching, 2 grooves on the bottom of knob (gives an awesome feel IMO), and matching metal bronze collar. total weight is around 520 ounces

crappy phone pic though

and to add to the discussion, weight totally matters on the Z. our clutch is kinda knotchy and when i used my previous knob...that was 1/3 the weight, shifts would sometimes miss and not fall into place completely, and a variety of little things if you werent careful.

Looks great sir :tup:

Also, I get an image in my head of some of you guys watching carefully as you use 1 finger to push the shifter into gear :D. I don't think there's any argument that weight can matter. However to me, on the Z, I just personally don't see much difference....I guess I must push it into gear with extra gusto or something.
