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?

that sounds interesting, I like my nice lightweight aluminum ****, but only because the stock **** 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 **** and a heavy one, as far as feel goes.

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

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.
