How does everyone feel about their stock 6 speed shift knob??

I think its really really high..

I actually unscrewed it the other day while i was cleaning my car and my buddy asked if i can move my car so he can pull in his s2k for a quick wash.
So i just jumped in and moved it.. and without the shift knob, it felt really nice... nice n low...

Does anyone have the same problem as me??

And how did they fix it?? I was planning on getting a Momo but doesn't know if it has a height difference or not..

And is it safe if i dremel out some thread?? does that sound crazy??

Thanks for all the help...

 

lots of people have swapped on the new TL shift knob - looks good/stock and sits lower

 

 

even though the shift knob sits high, I've gotten used to it b/c when I lay my arm on the center console, the shift knob is at a perfect length from where the height of my hand is imo

 

Some have cut the post down.
I've used both the TSX knob and the TL knob, both are shorter and make a big difference. The TSX and S2000 knobs are a lot heavier weighted than the stock.
I'm using the TL knob right now. anything is an improvement over the stock CL knob. throws feel shorter too with shorter knobs.

 

Has anyone cut the shifter??

I really wanted to get a momo shiftknob cause it feels really comfy.. just dont know if it would change the height or not..

The new TL shift knob does look nice tho!!!

Thanks Guys!!

 

i remember some one has cut the shifter and re welded it lower. i'm currently searching.

YES! correct. i remember now.

 

yeah i like the look of the tl shift knob. isnt one of the newer tl's supposed to have perforated leather? i think it would match the interior nicely. where can i pick one up anyways?
