shifters and knobs

RE: shifters and *****
The **** you choose is kind of a personal preferance thing, just be aware that the taller the **** you have the taller it makes your shifter and that affects the length of the throw. I had a sparco Globe type and I loved it (in my civic) and for that I just did a cheap style of upgrade (I took of the **** and used a hacksaw to shorten the shifter) this does two things 1) It makes the shifts a bit stiffer (less of a fulcrum) which made it feel more solid to me 2) it lowers the height of your shift **** (so you have to reach a fraction further to grab it)
A good short shifter will maintain stock height and be counter weighted to smooth things out (less resistance) I know Neuspeed makes them. This way it looks stock but feels and reacts like a true short throw. Here's an example I found (don't know about the quality of it, never used it)
