Shift knob preferences?

Immaturity strikes again.

Every time I hear 'knob' i giggle like a little school girl.

I like option A.

heres my experiences with knobsnismo leather- cheap feeling, too small and slippery when ur hands are dry. but it looks damn good and matches the boot wellveilside aluminum- too hot. looks good but.....its all looks.stock jdm leather wrap knob from my clip- nice, sticky, but too big. felt like a baseball.i believe the stock shifter has the best feel. its tall so ur whole hand fits on it, weighted for smoother shifting (just slap it into gear and itll fall right in), the shifter sits high so its easy to hold onto while cruising in 2nd or 4th.

I used the one that came with my B&M shifter. Had to put a piece of tubing between the shifter shaft and the boot so that it stayed up to the bottom of the knob. Looks good

The whole idea of a weighted shift knob is ridiculous to me. The more mass you have to move around, the more force. And since that mass is concentrated on the end of a lever arm, it is magnified by the length of the shifter. This is slower and more like the "ham-fisted" slamming gears of wanna-be drag racers. These knobs only have a faster "feel" because the driver is slamming the gears. These knobs do have a benefit, however. They give a more solid feel when shifting, which is good if you've ever driven a worn out 86. I stay away from metallic ones because I live in Texas. It got to the point that I had to make a thermal barrier (glorified sock made out of an old lunch bag) to put over the knob. Otherwise I'd have to use the old water bottle and towel trick.Long story short, I use a high tech plastic white one now. Its made out of the same material in high end shifter bushings.

From your list, I'd pick A because it looks nice. The grip feel on C is good if you hold your hand vertically while shifting.Hope this helps!
