Sup guys, So I have heard good things about this short shifter and these knobs. Nice throw reduction, vibration dampening and all that noise. Does any one have one? just want a bit more Intel before I buy. Link below Cheers!

I've never cared for weighted shift knobs. Thats is a very pricey shifter. I don't see spending that kind of money on a part that has no performance benefit, and the stock shift stroke isn't bad to begin with, try driving a Z31 or older.

I got an AMS... one.. which sucked.. the adjuster bushing because lose.. which cause the height to adjust... so if you were trying to throw it in third the shifter would elongate while trying to throw it at the same time.

Then I replaced it with Torque Solutions.

So far happy customer. The only thing is that the linkage bushing rattle, but I am happy with it. It feels pretty notchy.

The Tommy Kaira Hebi Bebi seems to he the Holy Grail of shift knobs but they're nearly impossible to find any longer, to my knowledge they've been discontinued.

The closest thing that I'm aware of you them are the ones from TWM.

I went with a delrin option... black car just is asking for burnt right hand. Plus the shorter shift throw really doesn't need to be weighted. So far it's exactly what i expected it to feel fit's the glove of hand nicely and makes a bigger target to hit for quick shifts.
