JGR Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 powbmps - Your knob is really low, do you have a short shifter installed? or is that difference between the two momo knobs? I'd like to get another kartboy for my LGT like I had on my WRX. I wish it would bend back a little towards the driver so it was less of a reach though. Does having the knob lower make it more or less comfortable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powbmps Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 JGR, I am using a Kartboy prototype (a bit shorter than what is being sold) with the stock shifter assembly. Whatever shifter is used, I would say that the Momo knob sits about 1" lower than the stock knob. Both of the Momo's in this thread are the same height, just different materials on the bottom half.

Keefe[/QUOTE] I guess that's why some rally cars have the shifter up on the center console. I drove the Civic Si which has the shifter up there- kinda weird to look at but surprisingly comfortable. tom tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 it's meant to be closer so that the driver can get his shifting hand back to the steering wheel ASAP. I dont care how "cool" it looks to drive with one hand, I vow never to drive with just one hand on the wheel ever. Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlabs Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I just got the Momo Race Airleather/Carbon knob. I like it. It's a tad bigger than I would have liked, but it's a heckuva lot better than the stock shifter (I can't stand pistol-grip type of shifters). I know I had a lot of questions in terms of the size of the Momo knobs, so here's a few pics. The first one is the carbon knob side-by-side with the stock shifter. -=- Livin life at 140 BPM -=- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
