I have the voodoo shift knob and i like it. No complaints here. It makes shifting alittle easier/better. Well worth the money in my opinion.
Love it!!!

For a completely different approach:
This one is a bit lighter than stock, I believe, but if your transmission is shifting smoothly it should be no problem. Advantages: some people (OK, I) like the barrel shape, as it nestles right into the bend of the middle and ring fingers. Also, it can be made to sit very low. When I'm
feeling lazy, I rest my arm and wrist on the center console, and shift with fingers only.
Disadvantages: it's light. It's uncomfortable if you slap your hand down off the wheel for a shift, so I imagine it'd be bad if you race a lot. And I admit it: it's ugly.

^^ I'm not actually sure it's lighter, I'm just guessing. In any case, it's close. If you like the look and feel of that shape, I advice going for it -- just change your tranny fluid at the same time. I don't like the look (it wouldn't be so bad without the Allen bolts on top), and I'm still pleased.

My voodoo knob has the correct threads to screw onto the shifter just like the stock knob. It's made specifically for our cars, no allen screws required. In fact, my stock knob wouldn't really tighten up properly without a nut underneath and my voodoo doesn't need it. I added the garden hose washer to hold the shift boot up to the knob and it's perfect.
