I don't know if any of you have heard of these, but I was just wondering what the benefit would be. GReddy offers them, so I know they are a quality part...they weigh 13lbs! I would imagine that maybe it allows an easier quicker throw, but not sure...any ideas?

sounds interesting how much are they?

$40 from GReddy...same price as a typical knob...

well for the same price guess it wouldnt hurt to try it. Unless that much weight screws you up when shifting. Maybe ill buy one and try it out.

that sounds interesting, I like my nice lightweight aluminum knob, but only because the stock knob is like grabbing a tree trunk, maybe if it is small, but heavy, it would work, I still don't get the difference between a light knob and a heavy one, as far as feel goes.

they did the same thing with the fd, make the knob 10lbs. it makes the shift feel better, and it also cuts down on vibrations from the shifter. get it they work

I like my nice small voodoo knob, its got good weight to it as well, not sure of the exact weight, but its heavier then a stock FC knob at least.
