You can kind of see my shift knob in this picture, it's from an ///M Roadster and it's about an inch shorter than stock.

Whats with everyone wanting short shift knobs? this is bad for several reasons...

Its that much further your hand needs to travel off the steering wheel, and that much longer it will be off.

You lose mechanical advantage, making gear changes harder, and slower.

It's not bad Jordan, just different I just wanted the shiny aluminum look and saw this on eBay and I go it for $90. So I was happy. Now I actually like the short knob. I guess it's just personal prefrence.

Thanks guys for posting yours knobs...also thank you slammede30 to take care of taking that pic...what about of that W/// knob.... why is reverse the M logo?

[Jordan]

why is reverse the M logo?

To avoid royalty fees, while still having a ///M knob.
