yes, gear knobs are weighted to improve feel

the heavier the knob the easier the throw,
lighten it up and it can stiffen/slow down movement.

the shift in my vr4 is quite heavy, due to a short shift kit and light gear shifter,
want to improve it by adding a heavier and slightly taller gear knob

I happen to have a V6 leather manual gearknob in the garage which I will weigh tonight (if I don't forget). It's quite heavy I think.

Don't think they're too far off 1Kg from memory.

Ah, weighed at work: 365.4g without the leather wrapping - so maybe round up to 400g?

OMG, im really surprise that this playing such a big role, since my manual conv I always use ralliart 'ball' knob and find out that gear changes are a bit stiff, but never, ever, expect that this could be by not heavy enough gear knob used, well live and learn, thanks Carsten
