there is no extra effort involved in the shift. my gearbox has always been smooth like two 10's in a jello wrestling match.

One drawback of the metal countersunk knobs is that they're really cold in the winter.
Mine can get really hot in the summer under direct sunlight.....really keeps you from riding the shifter lol

yes i know it shortens the height of the shifter which would make the distance of the shift throw shorter as well.
You do understand how levers work, right?

Even with my Voodoo countersunk I still shift with a light touch using mostly fingers, a little palm only on the backhand into 4th and 5th gear.

Driving the S2K should be like swimming in oil.

[QUOTE=s98d7fs,Mar 5 2009, 04:55 AM]One thing I noticed with my short shifter and countersunk knob is that, I can really tell when I fudge a shift.
