I got one from Morphenspectra at WCC this year. Haven't put it on yet, but will hopefully try it out next week. Looks and feels great! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif)

for a driver, esp. one that sees a lot of daily driving or shifting...the metal is too hard, shaped incorrectly, it's going to be too hot or too cold depending on the conditions....nothing beats a nice leather shift knob like a momo

the part looks nice, you'd think they'd know it's CN, not C&C (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

The shape looks good. The round ones feel good in the palm of your hand.
Everone has different likes. 914rs has a longer one, probably the way he likes it. Just like Titties.(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mgw.gif)
I have found I've got to touch it before I buy it, but I am thinking about the one you posted. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

No...you won one won one from someone else. I forget who it was, but I bought one too...because I liked yours so much.

OUTSTANDING craftsmanship. I had bought another one, but after seeing one of these in person, I had to have one.

Highly reccomended.

I thought the same thing, but after trying out an aluminum knob - it really is not bad at all. I've left the car out all day in the Texas sun and it was fine. Mine was put on in place of a nice leather MOMO, too...

it's cute - but the shift pattern is wrong for a 915 :-) ...

i still like my plain ol' MoMo aluminum ball
- have a look at Porsche factory race cars and think how many shifts those cars get in 24 hours at Le Mans or Daytona.

i bought mine when i was doing combat-zone commutes on the 405 between the San Fernando Valley and Manhattan Beach -- 10,000 1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1 shifts a day...

it does get hot on hot days, but you shouldn't be resting your hand on the knob anyway - wears the shift forks. but on the track, you should be wearing Nomex gloves anyway, and in the winter, i'm usually wearing some kind of glove too.

Titanium is actually more dense that aluminum, but if you want to make sure you'll have -something- that will survive that nasty FI fire, there are Titanium Shift Knobs .

Those knobs are very nice, I was approached at WCC by the person making/selling these and asked how the OE knobs were attached, I popped mine off and we put his in there so he could take a picture of one installed. Should have bought it on the spot - but I will get one one of these days..

I agree with Mike and disagree with James. I put a billet knob in my Miata, and had to use a towel or a glove on the shift knob if I left the car in the sun for more than a couple of hours. We don't really get winter here, so it was never uncomfortably cold, but I can imagine it would get pretty bad in a place with real weather. Wood or leather. Wood is my personal pref, though I still have the black plastic knob on my 914.
