Maven Teardrop Style Shift Knob From HeelToe
 
Hello S2000 Enthusiasts!

We have been offering the Maven Mark One weighted shift knobs for awhile to our TSX/TL members, but not until recently were we able to get some pictures of it installed on a S2000's customer car. Our regular Maven Mark One sits about as low as an OEM knob will sit without the OEM lock nut. We also have our Maven Mark One Countersunk. Its a perfect shape and positions for your hand for shifting, not only that most of its over 1lb weight is located at the top of the knob. Thus making the knob very top heavy, and therefore making shifting easier and much more pleasant. All knotchyness has been removed from shifting and even reducing those 2nd gear grinds for me because its so top heavy, its makes going into each gate easier. I had an ARC eggplant, but the Maven Mark One SS Countersunk weights more, looks better,and after using it for a day, feels overall better to me, thus I converted :)

Here is a brief description taken from our site:

Every detail of the Maven Shift Knob has been meticulously examined and engineered to achieve the maximum look, feel, and effect. The material, shape, weight, height, and finish were all painstakingly scrutinized in realizing the final design.

Materials – On the stainless knob, a custom alloy of medical-grade stainless steel provides superior corrosion and tarnish resistance. The Maven Shift Knob will maintain it’s luster throughout the life of your car. The aluminum knob has the same machined shape with a black anodized finish to perfectly compliment the Fastline Performance Shifter, which the aluminum knob was specifically intended to sit on top of.

Weight – Precision balanced to 472g (1.04lbs), the Maven Shift Knob is exactly twice the weight of the factory Acura unit. Careful consideration was made to ensure the majority of the Shift Knob’s mass be placed at the very top to provide an incredibly smooth feel while shifting.

Finish – Machined to a satin finish, the Maven Shift Knob maintains a micro-texture that ensures a solid grip without being abrasive.

Wish this was countersunk.

Shadow_S2K 09-07-2010 04:22 PM

The weight of the Maven knob is concentrated at the top, thus making shifting feel easier. If it was any more countersunk I think we would lose a bit of that top heavy feel to it. Plus the shape of this knob fits better in the palm of your hand better than a ball type

I have an ARC Eggplant knob that is countersunk, though there is more weight at the top, it doesn't have that top heavy feel to it since its threaded so low.

If your interested I can bring up a knob for you to try out since it seems like your in the SoCal area. Let me know :)

Sneak preview of our countersunk knob, this is our Aluminum version knobs and our final productions SS knob should sit about an a quarter of a inch lower!

Shadow_S2K 09-13-2010 12:18 PM

After some testing, we decided a drop of about a quarter inch or so should give us the best height for shifting and style comfort.
