New Shift Knob from MonsterKnobs.com

Went from this: Skunk2




To this: MonsterKnob




Wow, what a difference!

I had a TWM Short shifter and the skunk2 and it still didnt feel all that great as I thought it would. Yea, the throw was a bit shorter, but not what I expected.

This Monsterknob is countersunk so it screws all the way down! And the material is suppose to not get hot or cold (I got it yesterday afternoon so I'll test how hot it gets today at lunch)

Also, I never had a round shift knob and wow, this is so much better than the stock shape. Overall, I feel my shifts link better and I really feel connected to the car when shifting.

Pros:
- Looks great
- Perfect Size
- Doesnt get hot/cold in winter/summer
- Countersunk
- When screwed all the way down, sits about 1 inch lower than stock

Cons:
- Seems to get a little hazy looking when you use it from grease/dirt on your hands. But a little wipe w/ a rag and your back in business :]

For $40 shipped, this was a great investment and now my shifting is fun :]

And no, I dont work for nor was I paid to write this up, this is just how I feel about the product!
