Go with TWM. I got the stage 2 short throw with a twm classic satin knob. Nice and heavy, super short throws, and the satin colkor matches the interior color perfectly.

i had a greddy weighted ball knob before i sold it. it looked good and felt great shifting. the twm knobs are so expensive...for that price you can get youself a fancy momo knob.

Well whatever you decide, don't get the factory knobs through the dealership. You can find those cheaper online then the dealership will charge you.

Ergonomics first, appearance a distant second. Everyone has their own preference for skiftknob shape/size/weight. I couldn't find anything that fit all three to my liking, so I made my own.

The three previous posters realize that the last post on this thread was from March of 2006 right? I think the OP would've gotten their knob by now...

I can make of of my styles threaded for automatic. I've done half a dozen knobs for auto so far, I think.

Dr. I, do you have any pics of your auto knobs? I've never seen them on your site.

They look exactly the same as manual knobs, only they're threaded for auto. If you're not doing a boot conversion, I make the base of the knob more tapered, so it flows better.

This is what I have: Greddy Counterweight knob. It's pretty heavy and makes shifting a little easier

I have doc I's weighed shift knob, its comftable to hold and shift. Its pretty much same weight as my OBX, I like my silver/aluminum OBX knob but the chromed plastic in the middle is chipped off. TWM has nice once too but its $$
