Thumbs down Mugen Shift Knob

Hey guys, been thinking about grabbing a black one. Can't find much information on these, but if anyone has one could they let me know how they feel/shift?



Thanks!

I have one. Love it. Had several others until I discovered this. It's smaller than the pics make it look. Feels right.
It's relatively inexpensive as shift knobs go, so if you for some reason don't like it, you're not out much.
Enjoy.

They sit a little tall on the S due to the shift lever flaring out toward the bottom. If you like a light knob, these are great, very precise feel and good sense for what gear you're in due to the shape.

I've since moved on to a Voodoo aluminum which is my current favorite.

I love the looks of the Mugen one and it looks as if it would be really comfortable to use. Many people have Voodoo's but I really don't see the hype

What other shifters sit low on the S2000's? I would want something much lower than the stock knob. I've seen pics of the Mugen one and it looks like it sits lower.

TWM Abram knob sits the lowest out of what you mentioned.
Not the cheapest ($100), but wellworth the money because you spend 100% of time using it. The heavy knobs are the best knobs, the shifting is super solid and 99% no notchy feeling

I can get these made myself on a CNC lathe for a quarter of the price haha I'll give it a shot, but I'm not really a fan of the big honking ball shifters, i like slim ones better.

I just ordered one from circuit hero. Its 40mm diameter and 440 grams, which is heavy for the size. Its also countersunk. I should have it in 2-3 days.
