Speedracerx Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 After adding a Perrin short shifter kit and chopping the shift lever by over an inch, I changed shift knobs to see if there was a difference. Long story short, new knob from Cyber Speed feels really good! Before knob but after mod: shifting is crisp and requires higher effort than stock. With Cyber Speed knob, seems to require less effort and is smoother than with the stock knob. The Cyber Speed knob is an aluminum two piece deal, smaller in dia. than stock and slightly lighter. Has a good feel in the hand. As you may know the stock knob is weighted and is good for damping out vibration. With my setup, I don't care about that, so the improved shifting is a plus. If there is any interest, I will try to post pics. -SRX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 ^ Definitely post pix. And definitely, a change in the knob's height, mass, or even configuration can greatly affect perceived shift "quality." I totally agree with that assessment. As for what's "best" - that'll depend on each individual's unique tastes and preferences. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedracerx Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 Here are a couple of shots of the new knob. Sits real low in the boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
