Ok, i got a voodoo knob and installed it. I was happy about the shorter lenght and feel. But, one thing that bothers me is the size. I think it's just too big. Does anyone else have this issue or am I too used to the stock Aluminum knob? The stock one feels better in my hand. And i can also gauge/feel the gears better.

My opinion is the exact opposite of yours. I found the stock knob to be way to small, and the squared-off shape really irritating. I love the perfectly spherical shape of the Voodoo knob (more natural to me), and the size fits the palm off my hand much better. With the stock knob, I had a tendency to "pistol grip" it, which is a very bad habit in my opinion. My two cents.

I have the Voodoo too and I could never go back to that skinny, tiny little thing. In fact, I wouldn't mind if the Voodoo was a bit bigger. I made a spherical knob for a previous car out of wood (which I varnished with about a dozen layers). It was about 25% bigger than the Voodoo and it felt perfect.

i felt the exact same way when i bought my voodoo ti knob. i loved how short the thows got but hated how my little hands could not grip it from the sides very well. what we need is a pisol style knob with a counter sink in it, kinda like the one 4-ig was gonna make.

I have Muz's knob and love the way it feels in the hand. I had to remove it and leave it with the trimmers so they could size up a knob sock for it. I put the stock knob back on and could really feel the difference. I wouldn't go back to the stock knob now no matter what.

It's actually bigger at nearly 2" and 28 grams heavier. For anyone looking for a slightly larger and heavier shift knob without the expense of Titanium it fits the bill perfectly.

There's a Voodoo Magnum which is 2.0" in diameter compared to the normal voodoo of 1.875" in diameter.

Unfortunately, it's not made with the threading/countersinking for the S2000.
