Heavy. At one point, I would have also liked one that didn't get so hot in the summertime...

 

I got Flossy Shift knob (Red Head Heavy Weight), perfect for all weather, doesn't get hot in summer or cold in winter like stainless steel one.

Nice! But OMFG $110 for a shift knob...

 

My cheapo Stainless steel ebay shift knob came in. It uses screw in threaded adapters to account for different thread pitches. I'm not sure how a more expensive one would be much better because it is just a bare SS knob. It looks pretty good.

 

Heavy for sure. I've had both. I didn't like the feel of the light w. Could really feel that 3rd gear notch.

 

Heavy will definitely assist in shifting. Check out our High Caliber Series, they have a great weight to them!

Heavy is the only way to go

 

Heavy. It really helps you engage each gate. I'm using a 400oz with Maps (Ultimate shifter) package.

 

Well, I had money... and it's gone.

 

I guess heavier is better since you are able to exert more moment through the linkage onto the cynchros in the transmission. I wonder, however, at what point in weight of the shift knob detrimental effects would appear...

 

Waiting for mine to come in, and I'll let you know. Everyone that I know that switches swears by a weight shift knob. I'm tossing it on the factory shifter, and then the TWM that I ordered.

 

I just picked up a dc sports knob (400g). Haven't tried it out yet, but thinking about replacing my current blackline knob (201g). Anyone else try a 400g knob yet? Thoughts?

 

I would like to try a heavier shift knob, but don't want to pay very much. Anything out there good under $50 shipped?

 

I like the Blox Racing knob I got a few years back. It massively reduced my miss-shifts while on track. It was just about $50 when I got it, looks like it's even cheaper now.

Note that it does not screw down as far as OEM, but more than solid. I used some rubber grommets to fill the gap. Track car, no care.

 

I paid $35 shipped for the dc sports knob I mentioned above. Should be available in 2 styles iirc. Anyway, something affordable if you want to try it out.
