Ti knobs seem just blingy to me. Weighted knobs seem more purposeful.

I don't have one yet, but I plan on getting a TWM for a few reasons:

1. Adjustable height
2. Good weight
3. Good designs & finishes
4. Engraved shift pattern. So an unfamiliar driver doesn't muck anything up and it won't rub off like a sticker or paint.

And no I'm not sponsored by TWM or anything, I just recognize good, thoughtful products when I see 'em. But if you wanna give me a deal, TWM, I'd be happy to take it.

Sounds like you need some , under hood shifter bushings, or some shifter mount bushings swapped out.

I never liked the type R style ones cuz it got to hot im my car and i just didnt feel right in the evo, but i do like the feel in my honda

To the OP let us know what you choose and post a pic of that bish.

I've had the Razo weighted knob (the original that blox copied), a nice leather weighted knob, long joystick style one, and a cheap ebay delrin one.

I like the delrin one better than all the others. It doesn't heat up or get super cold, and fits in my hand perfect.

i have the middle knob on your second choice for my MR and love it. stays much cooler than the stock aluminum knob and the CF pattern matches the e-brake handle perfectly. it also looks like the shift pattern on top of the knob is underneath the clear coat so that it will not wear off. it does make the shifter a little bit taller if that is a concern. all in all i am very pleased with it.

My vote goes for anything with a CF finish. I used to have a Razo, but it got super hot, and the leather peeled off it. I now have the AMS/Vibrant CF knob, and while it could be a little bit heavier, it does look and work great ... and doesn't get hot to the touch.

****ty ebay lightweight delrin. Run them on all of our cars. They're durable and they won't burn or freeze you, the weight doesn't matter to me, I don't like 'counterweight' knobs at all.
