Recommend a shift knob

I need a knob that is tall and heavy...right now i have the Arc shift knob, its short and not heavy enough, really uncomfortable with a short shifter. Can anyone recommend a knob thats really tall and heavy?

I was thinking this

but not sure if its heavy enough...

bro check out TWM shift knobs....www.twmshiftknobs.com. There heavy!! And great quality. I wanna pick up there short throw too soon.

I have this one...which weights 460 grams (1 pound): M1 Abrams

If you want heavy and big/tall then you would prob like this, its there heaviest one. 600 grams (1.32 pounds): Desert Eagle

This one too is pretty crazy looking...but i bet it feels good shifting with it: Bombshell

I think I saw that used in a **** movie once.



I love my engraved TWM A6 Leopard Shift Knob (1.07 lb). And I have a TR1 shift boot coming to replace the crappy stock boot as well.

How about this one:



Doug kicked butt on this one.

It is for an VIII/IX but it fits the requirements of taller/heavier.

I have the TWM Leopard in satin as well. It's not tall, though I must say I really like it.

I'm personally looking into one of the TWM ones or the Works Grab. I think it's come down to whichever short shifter I wind up getting, I'll get the accompanying shift knob.

Are you using the ARC brushed or mirror finish knob?

The AMS one looks really good in terms of length...but its only .4 pounds...



Anything similar but much heavier. I dont like polished grips its kind of slippery...

The TWM "Type-R" knob sounds just like what you're looking for.
