I have a Ti voodoo knob and I LOVE it , I haven't noticed it getting hot when the tops down

 

After reading Road Rage's post on the proper way to shift (or how he was taught at his driving school), I realized that I was slowly learning a bad habit with the stock shift knob.

I ordered a Voodoo, and you definitly have to palm it in order to get a good shift, you can't finger shift or pistol shift it as easily as you can with the stock knob. Since I learned how to drive a stick on my MY04, it's still soon enough to break me of that habit.

I love the knob, I have the spun Magnum Ti Voodoo. The throws are shorter, but considering how short they are stock, it's nothing super cool to write home about. It's a nice thing to have though, and I'd probably get another one if I needed to.

I wish they had a leather wrapped one.

As for the top down and the knob getting hot. It gets warm, and it also gets cool in the cold. I don't believe it's anything too extreme however.

 

I didn't realize that the Voodoo knob also helped to do that also --------------^

 

get the magnum size (even if you do not have large hands)....it fits in your palm perfectly...also I have the engraved spun pearl aluminum and it looks amazing

I don't know about that...I am 5'9" @ 175lbs ....so you can get the gist that I have normal sized hands (imo)....the magnum is a perfect fit.....I would recommend trying to find someone with each and test they out if you are that unsure...just a thought

 

I want one that is the same color as the OEM. Is that Spun or Pearl?? What color is the engraving through Ricks?
Thanx

 

efthimios,
yours in that picture looks real nice, I think I might go with that, now I gotta decide about the size.
The engraving you have is the shift pattern right? I was thinking of taking it to a near by engraver and have them put S2000 on it.
