I didn't think it was that difficult in the first place.

I think I just might get the ams shift knob. It has a stock look and it is leather.
But is it like the 93 94 leather stock shift knob. I dont like that one because it feels big.
To be honest I like early 90s honda accord leather shift knobs.

+1 for the AMS knob. Just replaced the crappy carbon fiber one that came with my Galant and I love it.

The one on my car is off an 88 corolla.  Better than the 1g shifter by far.

My buddy has a Momo one similar to the Ichabon, I like the way it feels. Another friend made me a shift knob out of an eight ball, cooler looks than practicality, it feels numb.

I recommend the Greddy counterweight or the good ol' 2g leather knob.

yup i just finally replaced my 2g shift knob (at least thats what i think it was) and it was pretty light, nice leather and short throw.
I just put this one in
OEM Heavy Leather Shift Knob
Its a little taller, a lot heavier, and it feels like it shifts a lot better than the 2g for some reason. Looks great in a 1g and its a pretty good height. Not too expensive either.

I love my EVO 8 knob, it's light & small, feels good, and looks factory.

I've tried several different type of shift knobs, but I always go back with the stock 2g leather.
When it's not leather it gets slippery, and way too hot when parked outside on hot days.
The only shift knob I know i will switch to and actually keep would be from the EVOs.
