;)

I have a whitehurst que ball knob in my car at the moment but I am looking for something witha little more feel to it. The knob in my audi is perfect, so I pulled it offand weighted it. Its 30oz. Anyone have any idea how heavy the MBA knobs are?This plastic hurst just isnt cutting it.

Oh, you meant... nevermind :P




I have the black WS6 pistol grip handle in my car from the WS6Store, has a good solid feel and weight to it IMO.

Yeah it works great I've had line locks in other places and this is the best way so far .

This thread is a landmine of "that's what she said" jokes.

Steve, the MBA knobs have some weight to them. Not sure exactly how much, but they're solid. I had one on my Vette but removed it. Icy cold in the winter, blistering hot in the summer.

If you haven't tried a factory shift knob that came with the hurst shifters from the factory, try one. Feels awesome in the hand.

the heat and cold doesnt bother me much, all of my last few cars have had heavy bullet or steel knobs so im use to it. I might try the MBA. The OEM hurst has to weight like 2oz? I hate the feel of a light knob, it has to really clunk when i push it in.... gear...

haha... aye yi yi.

has to be round as well. flat topped is on, i just dont like the fancy shapes and grips.
