The stock knob has a decent weight to it. Unfortunately, some of them (i.e. mine) rattled a bit (not the most sturdy thing).
I had a WC Lathewerks stainless steel ball shift knob - looked and felt great as long as it was neither summer nor winter.

I have a heavier shift knob in the classic white "Hurst Cue Ball" style with the correct 6 speed shift pattern. I like the feel much better than the stock knob. It feels better to grip, extends the lever a bit to provide more leverage, and just feels more solid. Of course it also makes the car at least 5 mph faster.

I got my shift knob! It feels so smooth. It got rid of that notchy shifting. No regrets!

I also got Tien coilovers and Ark Grip Exhaust. :D :cool:

I have the Kartboy SSK and with their shift knob. It wasn't great. I bought a heavy knob and see if it helped but it made it even more notchy. Ended up with a stock knob and felt great.

Too bad you didn't get one that was fully illuminated ..... or, at least glowed in the dark ...... then you would have been even closer to being a racer.

Dang it! It's ok. As long as I feel like a racer, I'm happy.


I'm really not. It's racer life, or nothing. :(

This will make you happy, but your wallet sad then:

At least it's HALF the price of the CAE shifter....
