I though the weight of the shift knob played a part in how it felt. I think it needs to have some weight to it to feel "correct".

true you will have the metal shaft inside for the shifter to screw onto so it will add some weight to it

it will be allright

Good thinking! Solid carbon fiber may work as well here.

Also weight does has alot to do with the throw of the car. Before i sold my S2000 i used about 5 different shiftknobs.. from my own protypes to a lot of Japanese bran ones.

More weight in the knob = easy shift
less weight in the knob= requires more shove!

I have a black carbon fiber knob (think Team Voodoo size, shape with black cf finish) and it's light as heck! Anyone who wants it, throw me $15 and it's yours. But seriously, this is a great idea if properly applied. There has to be weight in there somehow. As for my current Momo Shot knob, this sucker is MAGNUM sized and heavy new, but I wanted even MORE weight so I unscrewed the top and placed lead tape in there. I've posted all this before but thought the pic enclosed is a good way to show how to create the carbon fiber look while maintaining proper weight. An all-black carbon fiber knob would look awesome (the black cf knob I mentioned above looks nice) but where would the weight come from? I was thinking it'd work if I wrapped leap tape around the stem of the shift but the axis of weight would change as well.
