Default Best shift **** for me???

Ok so I'm basically looking for and Top heavy shift **** to replace my voo doo shift ****. I have noticed that rowing through the gears I have a probelm grabbing the shifter because of the way i have to grip it. I have always loved the Nismo but It was too small and weighed nothing. Which is no good when you have giant hands like me. I'm very tempted to get the Dewla Dezign shift **** as it is cheap, larger then the nismo, and more top heavy so they claim. Any thoughts would be great.

Large weighted ball shifter. There's one in the marketplace right now for $100. Weighs a little over a pound.

I'd never realized the extensive thought that people should be putting into shift **** selection.
Mod's: please consider creating a sub-forum dedicated to shift *****.
If you end up using Sylvan's, don't spit on your hand or you'll end up with a mess inside your windshield.

I will make sure this gets the proper attention it deserves, which is to say... NONE AT ALL

Yea that one is a bit short, but its better then the voo doo one I have know. Also I'm looking at getting the heavy blox one just to see how it feels shifting, I dont want to gain time between shifts though, would the super heavy one do that ?

I had a TWM shift **** in my previous vehicle. Quality stuff. Made the shifts feel more "balanced".

TWM is a great shifter... I've had:

ARC Titan polished
Nismo Stainless
Nismo GT
TK Hebi Bebi

Though I've never owned a TWM, they look great and you have many choices to pick from.

thats the exact one i have right now. I actually miss the shifter sometimes when I focusing on the road and then lose seconds, Plus when I'm rowing through the gears for a while the palm of my hand starts to freaking hurt.

thanks though

I dont see weight as a factor, OEM weight is great for me. My only concern is seating position when I'm strapped into my race seats. I just need it slightly taller to change the angle of my arm.
