Momo Shift Knob Installed

Well, since the Azine knob isnt going to be released, I decided on different type of knob. So here it is, the Momo F16 Evolution with Titanium finish and black leather. It was fairly easy to install. I did have to remove the spacer inside the shift boot, otherwise I couldnt tighten down the set screws. Love the feel of it. Shifts are more precise and quick. Here's some pics...

Looks good.

Btw, you can actually enlarge the spacer ring ever so slightly with a file and the boot would slip down over the large section on the shift lever. This will allow room to tighten the set screws and install the bottom cap. When you done tightening, just slip the boot back up.

Ah, ok...I'll have to try that then. It seems fine without the ring, but it would be nice to have it on...

Looks good, joerockt. Pardon my n00bishness, but how does a different shift knob make shifting quicker and more precise? I'd think your short shift kit would have more to do with that.

Well, I'm not sure how to explain it, but the shape just gives it a quicker feel over the stock knob, specifically from 1 to 2 and 3 to 4.

Is the top flexible? It looks like it would have some give if you push down and forward using the palm of your hand.
