JDM Delrin TRD shift knob. Feels nice, looks good and is slightly taller then the stock knob. I dig it.

Doubt you will be saving much weight from that since the stock knob weighs close to nothing. Wanna shave 21 pounds instantly off your car:

Braile 9 pound Battery, the stocker weighs 30 pounds!!

Don't think they're asking to save weight in the car, more so for the change in shift feel (i.e. heavier will make a slicker shift but less feedback etc.)

But I'm interested to hear how the feel changed as well!

I have the white/red version and just installed it a few days ago. Had it in previous vehicles and it was just laying on the shelf so i figured why not..

I like it. Although it weighs less and is more slippery than the oe leather knob.

Price has gone up since i purchased. I believe i paid $45-55. I see it sold online for $75+ now.

It is lighter, maybe by half. I really do not mind it and I usually don't like light knobs. I think the fact that it is longer makes up for it, more leverage.

One of my ex girlfriends is Japanese and she got it for me as a gift. I do not know the number.

I have a 15lb Tomiaka Racing battery with a billet mount. Half the weight of the stock battery. I could have gone lighter but I like the fact that I can let it sit for a while without driving it and know it will start. 12.5:1 compression loves CCA's...

Good to know, mine was free.

I bought mine in 2006. So, finding it on the bench a few days ago felt pretty free to me.

Yes, but oddly enough noticeable.
