Razo 340g counterweight. Makes shifting feel so much better.
Screws on any shifter, stock or aftermarket.

I like the stock actually, but I just got a kartboy since I also got the short shift kit.

I'm using the GReddy superlight knob. It's cheap plastic, but it sounds like it might work for you. Cost me $20.

i got the 340 g counter weight, but round and black.

isn't that cold, i think it's the black paint on it that makes it less colder.

stock ones are too hard to shift. Although, you do get a lot more feedback and it's a lot more precise feel to it.

lol, put a towel in the car with you, (helps to have a nice lent free cloth in there for dust anyways) other than that you can pick up a gsr knob.

i wanted to track down a leather MR shift knob when i was in japan, but the Mitsu dealership my friend knew of in Nagoya had shut its doors....

saw some nice looking Ralliart ones at Super Autobacs for about $40, but i didn't buy one. you can probably get those from someone in the US.
