yeah i have a brass shift knob 530g . its great. yeah maybe ill do the bushings and just live with it.I hear bm hits the exhaust on some exhaust systems.
nothing but good things about skunk2 duel bend + weighted shift knob and the k tuned version 2 shifters.
But like said above you cant go wrong with stock shifter with a weighted knob and new bushings
I might give the stock one a go since I haven't driven my car with oneall short shifters suck. if you want do do any sort of motorsport or spirited driving they will grind. Best shifter is a stock shifter or stock type r linkage and shifter.
