Weight of MR shift knob

Does any one know the weight of the stock MR aluminum shift knob? Some one told me it was counter-weighted.

Weighted or non weighted, they shift the same.

I had a works grab knob, but it was the same weight as stock. It did look cool, but for some reason, I shifted a little better with the stock knob. So..I sold the Works knob here on Evom.


My buddy customized a Greddy shift knob (heavy!) to fit his MR. The fabbing took about 2 hours (getting it to clear the reverse lock-out). He was cool enough to make me one, too.

how does the greddy feel? that is the one i want to get since it is significantly heavier.

I really like my stock aluminum MR shift knob. It looks very cool and "race car like."
