What shift knob are you using?

Just thought I'd get a concensus of what everyone has ontheir rides. I'm not a fan of the little ball-like shift knob it comes with stock.

Have a Megan short shifter on the way and plan on replacing the stock knob with something heavier and leather (no metal!! I live in Arizona) lol.

so what's everyone got?

I know you said no leather but I have the megan shifter, in-car shifter bushings and Ralli-Art Titanium shift knob and I love it! These three items greatly inproved shifting. The shift knob being metal does not really get that hot, as long as you have tint, and I live in South Florida, they don't call it the Sun Shine State for nothing.

Onthe car I just sold I have an OEM super heavy (clubed foot looking style) black leather shift knob I got through Mach V. I may buy it again if the threading will fit. Yeah metal is a nono here in AZ when it's 120 outside that means it';s like 180 inside the car and the metal honestly brands you lol.

Pics of your shift knobs would be great!

Yes, the threading is the same on the DSM's (and other Mitsu's) and the Evo.

I have never seen a Ralliart TITANIUM shift knob. Did these just come out? Pics please!! This would match my Ralliart Ti pedals nicely.
