Title: Razo RA25A Shift Knob
Post by: rjp6262 on August 06, 2009, 02:37:46 PM
finally got around to investing in a shift knob! found this one, the Razo RA25A (http://www.amazon.com/Razo-RA25A-Aluminum-Round-Manual/dp/B000CPCQDW/ref=pd_sbs_auto_5) knob. weighs 340g (feels like more than a pound, but the online conversion says its .75 lbs).

its got a real nice heft to it when you pick it up, so you know it'll make shifting very smooth. a little bigger than a ping pong ball, so its not huge. (http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff134/rjp6262/S5031291.jpg)
it comes with some stickers(good for 10hp per sticker :?), and three inserts for the knob itself. the inserts are sized differently for different car applications. so you place the correct insert into the knob(10mm) and screw it into place. then take the old knob off and replace it with the new one! simple!

Holy sideways pictures Batman! Your shift knob sits to high. Time to hack the lever down to size.

the knob itself sits lower than the old knob. the reason why it looks taller i guess is because the boot goes up higher, but i can assure you that it sits lower. not to mention its so smooth now from the weight of the knob.

That looks good dude. I still think you should go lower that way you barely move your hand between shifts. Just my (http://www.acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/2cents.gif)
