I am planning on getting the counterweight but I heard that thing gets hella hot in the heat and our temperatures are nearing 90 where I live.

Does the stock shift knob just screw off? I hope it's that easy.

 

[adamism]

And does MachV have them in stock?

Yes the stock one just screw right off, never get the set screw ones that require allen wrenches to tighten. I have a sparco one on, the first time I put it on, it was fine but after that the knob wouldn't stay still and right now I just have the knob sitting on the shifter.

AHHHHHHH Get some damn zip ties, lift up the console, and put some zip ties right onto the shifter shaft (underneath the boot) where you want the boot, slip back the console on, put the boot back on and VOILA....

I like it that way becasue when I go for third I can just put my hand underneath the ball. i tried the other way and wasnt very happy.

Well i cant tell if they have them in stock. They havent told me that they have shipped it yet or anything, i sent them an email asking them to let me know the status of my order. I will let you know if they have them in stock or not.

I'm about to get that shift knob in that link you posted. Has anyone used it before? How is it?

 

[Wilfus65gs]

This is kinda funny but in machine shop class i was bored so i tried to make a shift knob. It was supposed to be a ball but i didnt have the time so it is kinda cylindrical and rounded at the top (a.k.a. dildo style). It may not look all that good but it is heavy as hell and it gets the job done.

Razo 400

[Ryans99OZ]

[CanadianTSi]

Just to add to this... The greddy Knob does get really hot when in the sun...like untouchably hot. Also in the winter my hand has stuck to it a few times it was so cold.
