Looking to upgrade from my oem ****. I really like the Spoon ti-**** but it's less than 100gm's, is this too light? I want a smooth and solid feeling shift. Some other ones I'm looking at are 440gm's. So is heavier better? Thanks fellas

 

i went from a fake type r one from ebay to the real skunk2 shift ****. lets just say that my shifts feel so much faster

 

When it comes to shifters and *****....weight = GOOD

 

i like mine lighter......maybe im just weird


i went from the Greddy counterweight to a spoon and my spoon feels 10X better

 

If you want smooth/solid shifts, you need a heavier shift ****. I personally looked at the Skunk2 shift ****- 440g, but wasn't enthralled at the idea of frostbite in winter, and burns in the summer. I ended up ordering the Razo RA68- 400g. It's leather wrapped and supposed to be damn comfortable. Arrives on Tuesday, will post impressions.

LMAO took the words out my mouth....good shift **** though.....when its hot (like it's been the last 2 weeks) I just through on my TIEN mechanic glove on my right hand and drive..ha simple and it works....

damn it does get hott though lol

 

Thanks for all the replies fellas, this helps alot.

 

i have the weighted dc ****.. it works well.. id have the spoon titanium but i cant see spending 135.00 for a shift ****...but oh its purdy

 

i may just be dumb...but I dont really see the point of a weighted shift ****....

 

if you tried it...youd feel the difference

 

very true, u may not feel it on dd shifts, but when u try to shift fast u definitely feel like u shift a lot faster

Put a baby sock on it... solves all your problems ;-)

 

Maybe I am weird but I would learn how to drive before worrying about such ancillary things as shift **** weight...

$60 here is an open roadcourse lapping day at my local track and a few different entry fees to the drag strip. People need to get their priorities straight.

I'm not as impressed with the extra weight of this shift **** as I thought I'd be. Going back to stock. This Razo **** is only 400g compared to the 440g of the Skunk2, and it feels too heavy. I also thought I'd like the shift **** sitting lower, wrong again. I'm going back to stock. Comes down to personal comfort.

Anywho, my brand new Razo RA68 is for sale. I must admit that it is VERY comfortable, I just don't want the weight.

lol i know. you MIGHT feel the shifting is better, but whatever.

ppl are willing to buy these parts because they are "relatively" cheap and its mad tyte

 

Its all personal preference. I do prefer a heavier shift ****. Still shopping around for one.

 

I like the stock shift **** on my SH.. though it is looking verrrrry worn these days

 

I didn't even realize my shift **** was supposed to have leather on it until i read another thread. I got the car 4months ago, and it's always just been smooth, guess the previous owner took it off for whatever reason.

 

^probably to sell since it has a market

he probably traded it with some for some extra cash, sucks

 

wth are you talking about...it's the oe ****, but the guy took off the leather..

 

i had a skunk 2 one b4, still got it if u want it.

 

go to your local performance shop and ask to try on a weighted **** and a light ****. buy what you like more

there you have it

oh and i like to eat ramen noodles. but i dont know if you do

oh i thought you meant that you had the cool red stitching SH ****, and you actually got the OEM one like on base/4th gens.

 

While the subject is here... what website do you recommend for looking at shift *****? I like some Momo but not the $100 price tag. Btw, I was looking at racinglab.com.
