    Nothing like a jaffster knob! Have one installed in my race car and it worth’s the money. Great craftsmanship and excellent feeling when combined with a Z3 2.8/3.0 shifter (slightly bended backwards, towards driver side) is a work of art. It sits at the right height, close to 3 o’clock steering wheel location and provides short and precise throw for positive and crisp feeling. Try it!!!

      I'm definitely getting one. I ran into him sometime ago on another board I frequent and he's a pretty nice guy....with a nice design, so I will probably get it soon.

      ...now just trying to figure out which shifter to go with...lol

      I liked my previous Z3 1.9 in my E30 but I see others with the X5, 2.8, etc. makes me wonder if I should get something different.

        Made my own "race knob" out of Delrin. 7'' tall.

        I was thinking about selling them. I can basically make them any way you want. Jaffster style, my style. I never understood why the Jaffster one has a lip on it, though. Extra work for something that's not even functional.

              Aah. Out of my budget at the moment, but very nice I'm sure.

                Yah, probably not even worth it. If I were to do it again I would probably go with a the Z3 SSK from understeer.com

                  as steve explained a thread somewhere, the flange is there to help grip in case your hand slips while shifting. remember this wasn't intended for street use.

                    Hmm...sounds like a very unlikely scenario. Just my experience.

                    And why would it not be intended for street use? It's just a shift knob.

                        not really. esp if your not wearing gloves. i think there's a different one that will be made for street use.

                          Thanks for the compliments guys, much appreciated.

                          I am going to be getting rid of the last remaining TC/Jaffster Shift Knobs, $90 shipped.

                          Short and long versions are left, but not many.

                          Email me if you're interested, jaffster at jaffster dot com.

                          Includes allen key and set screws.

                          Be one of the last few to own the official Jaffster knob :)

                          Happy and healthy new years!

                          Jaffster
