Default installed a twm performance shift knob - my thoughts

So after 2 weeks of delays my twm performance shift knob finally came in. I bought the A6 leopard in flat black with the 6 speed shift pattern.

Basically, if you install one of these knobs on your crz, you do not need to use the height thread. I must have spent an hour trying to adjust the height thread in a way that the pattern comes out in the proper position. I ended up just using the main nylon thread, screwing it on tightly in a way that let the knob come out into the proper position.

Without the height thread, the knob is extremely low, in fact it's so low you don't need a short shifter. it's also very very HEAVY. The added weight makes it a breeze to shift, and it's a very nice feel now. If you're willing to put up with the pain in the butt that it is to install, it works out very well.

alright here are some pics. I forgot to mention that I purchased the 06+ honda civic shift collar from twm and that works fine with crz. The base crz shift knob comes with a plastic silver collar that doesn't fit into the twm knob, so you have to buy twm's collar for it to look good.
