gmoneyhobbit · 04-28-2008, 09:27 PM

he prolly wants to know cuz hes prolly gonna get an aftermarket one and they advertise by weight sometimes

***msjwild3*** · 04-28-2008, 09:33 PM

i believe the stock one is around 250 grams. I jsut got my TWM abrams today. 450 grams i think, heavier is better!

right, i'm looking at the Skunk 2 and the JDM one

and i'm wondering just how much heavier they really are than stock

marecki7 · 04-28-2008, 10:19 PM

Skunk 2 is almost a pound (440g=0.97LB), stock SI knob is about a half pound (250g=.55lb). JDM is right up there w/ stock SI--its pretty light.

Go for the Skunk, looks good, feels good, shifts great, and its the heaviest out of the 3 you mentioned.

PS next time please search.

On a side note... I have the Skunk2 knob and it gets hotter than hell when sitting in the sun. Damn thing takes like 15-20 mins to become bearable.

If you can't think of anything, than use a sock. LOL

I actually prefer the lighter shift knob. I've used the TWM Type R which is really heavy, then went to the Spoon Titanium one...which I loved, but sat too low. Then I'm currently only the S2000 CR knob (exactly the same as the Type R knob, but cheaper with yellow lettering) and I think it's the best so far. Great shape, but the only thing I don't like is that it's a little heavy for my taste.

ShadowFox375 · 04-29-2008, 01:28 PM

Have the skunk 2 shift knob. the weight on it is incredible and does help with shifts a little, but i second that it gets hot as a mother when in the sun or it gets cold as ice in cold temps. so do get a little sock or cover for it if u get it.

m1 abrams from twm is really nice, love the weight

Mugen knob is the BEST! :)

I love it so nice.

i heard if u get super heavy knob it damages the syncros and stuff. Can anyone confirm this?

***david3558*** · 05-11-2008, 07:05 PM

I've got a Skunk2 knob, but I'd love to have a M1 Abrams knob...

The stock Si knob is actually pretty heavy for a stock knob. The DC5 knob is plastic -_-.

dudemaster146 · 05-11-2008, 07:29 PM

I've got the round JDM Type R knob and I love it. The weight is just right and it shifts great. All I gotta do now is try to get ahold of the Mugen Quick shifter assembly to go with it but I know that wont be easy.
