The VooDoo knobs have enjoyed great popularity over the years for good reason. They're solid, well machined, lower on the stalk, and replicate the excellent ergonomics of the Ferrari shift knob. I've tried a good number of others but ended up with a VooDoo in both the '96 Miata I once owned and the MY03 S2K I have now. Highly recommended!


Oh... take a look at the MY08 CR shift knob too.... looks just like the VooDoo

what's CR knob made of..? I like the look of it too, and price isn't bad.

Not sure but I suspect spun aluminum like the VooDoo knobs. No clue as to weight either.

Here's an old shot of my cockpit with my pearl finish VooDoo knob:

Thats a great pic ^^^^
Do you also have a short shifter or is that how low the Voodoo sits naturally?
Thanks

I just ordered a Voodoo pearl finished aluminum knob with the shift patern engraved. I can't wait for it to show up.

I also think the aluminum knobs heat and cool faster than the Ti knobs due to density... I have not had any real heat issues with my Ti knob here in FL... the added weight makes each shift that much more confident.



This is what mine looks like in Neutral.

No short shifter kit at all.... that's one of the features of the way the VooDoo is countersunk... sits nice and low. Plus good heft and solid feel when shifting. Never had any issues with heat or cold either. Love it!

Cool. I knew it was going to sit a bit lower, but that looks perfect. I can't wait!!!

i love my TWM m1 abrams shiftknob. its about a pound in weight and very positive shifting plus its countersunk. I believe there's a thread around here that compared some of the different knobs.
