Default Countersunk weighted shift knobs

So it looks like moddiction is apparently out of business, or at the very least not returning any type of correspondence. What choices are out there for a weighted, countersunk spherical shift knob? I had a titanium one probably 10 years ago but can't find any of those for sale anymore.

Not sure if anyone in the marketplace is selling. Or a sponsor.

I think a friend of mine still has his. We both agreed that we disliked the feel of a heavy/countersunk knob...but everyone is different.

I'll ask him if u are interested.

If not, I'm sure eBay has tons available. M10x1.5 pitch.

I have a round brushed Aluminum counter sunk id be willing to let go but not sure it qualifies as weighted. I can weigh it if interested.

I have the Skunk2 one and like it a lot, I believe it's almost as heavy as the Moddiction one (within 10%).

Agreed on the countersunk weighted shift knob. I drove with the original Modiction - ball style weighted shift knob for about 6 years before switching back to the OEM knob.

I then switched to a Duracon 90mm jaffster style shifter. I now prefer a super lightweight shift knob that is raised a little higher up. The light weight of the Duracon makes it so that you have a much more precise tactile feel of what is going on in the transmission. You can feel all of the clunks and engagement points and easily feel when you've botched the shift even before releasing the clutch. It doesn't hide & mask sloppy shift technique. I find that a weighted shift knob actually makes you more prone to mis-shifting since it make everything so numb and smooth feeling that you end up not feeling that you've stuck it in the wrong gear or not put it into a gear at all.

As for the ebay option, they're excellent if you don't care about brand names. Also, you don't have to limit yourself to M10x1.5 pitch. you can buy conversion/adaptor screws that allow you to convert from M10x1.25 to M10x1.5 (see link here -

The product page doesn't specifically call it countersunk, but it sits significantly lower than OEM.
