Alright, you guys seem to have faith in me. This is awesome. I'm gonna try it myself but I'll be asking a few questions.

Seriously, party at my place to thank ya' all for being so cool.

i cant believe no one has mentioned to stay away from "universal fit" shitknobs. they really are ... ****.

the plastic cap broke up my shiftknob and rosenthal gave me a new one. (thanks guys.)

if i had to replace mine, i'd get the ms shiftknob. http://www.finishlineperformance.com...cat=283&page=2

Personally I dont want a round **** so that leaves options very hard...

Im considering either the veilside or Greddy ****

but Im also conteplating this ebay ****...not expensive at all but looks small and very nice.

Did I miss something...that first **** is only for a 5 speed!?

You guys are seriously FOUL! I love it...

Does anyone know for sure if this **** http://www.finishlineperformance.com...cat=267&page=4 will fit MT's? It says for auto only, but I'm thinking the thread size is probably the same, just that it doesn't have the shift pattern... Or uh, **** spatter, just to stay on topic

I had the this GReddy shitknob in my Eclipse. It was quite satisfying. Had the red insert to match my red exterior. You'll want to keep a **** sack handy though for the winter. It gets pretty cold. Crown Royal sack works great to keep it warm until you can get your hand on it.

Looks like a shotglass ... "You been drinking tonight?", "No sir".
Could that shatter and go in your eyes in a crash?

akward feeling? I have found the rotary shape to be a natural fit with my hand. Easy to down shift with the web of my index-middle finger, and easy to upshift with the web of my ring-pinky fingers!

I like the look of the carbon/aluminum MS, might have to look into that when I get an axial-flow.
