I'm just going to order it. I don't really care about mixing muscle and rice. I only want it because its a familiar comfortable feel and the threads match. Easy.

Your hand wasnt really meant to be sitting up like the t-bar has it. Think how your hand naturally sits at rest, not with your palm strait up like that. An egg shaped knob is the most ergonomic design available overall, STICK WITH IT.

The egg shape does feel good, but when I had the ball design on my Camaro, it was easier to quick-shift. When you're banging gears, you dont grab...you sort of 'palm' it. (Well, i do anyway..?) so it makes it way easier to control it w. your palm when its round! I was actually tempted to buy the CR knob, which is cheaper on HANDA.com than a NORMAL s2k shift knob (wtf?), but I want it leather wrapped for feel.

you'd be suprised how those T's feel too. They're more suited for straight back/forth of auto motion, but I had one on my '88 firebird, the t sort of angled towards you, not perpendicular. feels not bad.

round ftmfw tho ;P

I seriously gotta pick some leather + CR knob up to fab up my own.. ;D

Do this instead. Much cheaper and feels great!
