NVH is where the MGW really shines.

But it looks and feels sweet! As in my pictures above, I have a MOMO Anatomico wood gear knob. It had the 3 screw attachment but I cut it off and by using one of the rubber sleeves that came with the knob I was able to just screw it on the thread. So that mostly isolates any sound transmission. The white ball knob has an internal M12 thread and a lock nut so it is jammed up nice and tight with no chance of vibration to add noise. |

Yeh it does use grubs, but so do both the other quiet ones? I'd be interested to try one with a thread though. M12 eh? Good to know.

This is where my ball knob came from. http://www.epcoshiftknobs.com/rallystripe
I haven't tried it yet but I think a piece of 9-10mm fuel hose would work. Just shove it up the knob and screw it on. As the thread screws in it jams the rubber in tighter and is a solid fit. |

All the ones in the eBay links are the same unit, some had silver instead of blue extension arms. ?
I have one of them and it works sweetly. Id just go for the cheapest one. Same materials, same design. easy to install, (theres info on my build thread when I installed it) The other versions shown on here do look damn horny though.. but essentially 6/half dozen..

Pro5.0, steeds tri-ax, rip shifter, MGW, etc. are in a league of their own. I, and quite a few others, just happen to think MGW is the top of the leaderboard. Spend the extra $150 odd for MGW and you'll understand what quality is. |

Haha...
After reading this that's exactly what I've ordered... Knob and all... I just ordered the race handle without the bend but as it'll sit better in my console... Will see what differences I get from the cheap eBay one I've had fitted for years... Never given an ounce of trouble but... Cheers, Tim
