So you know, Seoulfulracing.com sells a TON of shift knobs that will fit your shifter. The B&M isn't considered a very good short shifter by most of us, and I've had ALL of the current short shifters in my car, but it's better than stock.

^^I like my modified B&M... It's the one you traded me. It's much more comfortable like this.

No, I just like tighter shifters. I did the measurements, with the B&M I sent you in fact, and it was the WORST out of the entire bunch, the TALLEST, and the sloppiest.

The 2 best, that I've tested, are the Megan, and the Ark. The Megan has 1 serious issue, it likes to fall apart while driving because the pivot doesn't stay in place.

Don't get mad that you tune on a budget, we can't all be straight up ballers like me yo.

Enough OT b****.

Yeah, sorry. The point is, you can put a new knob on your shifter. Mine is one of those battery powered LED knobs. I gutted the electronics and packed it with blue LEDs that go on and off with the interior lighting system. Mine is one of those bolt on knobs.
Alot of people don't like them because initially you have to tighten them a few times to get them to actually stay. The trick is to drill into the shifter about 1mm with a 1mm drill bit at each hole so it never comes loose. But most oem replacement screw-on knobs work just fine as well.
