I waited so long to do this mod, specially cuz I didnt know if spending money on a different shift knob was even worth it. This is the 1st time that I use an aftermarket knob and... I should've done it way earlier. I have the european short shifter along with hard bushings and now is way better and smooth shifting. This should be because of the noticeable weight difference. The knob sits a little lower than the OG one, but not that much. Looks great, smother shifting and the alcantara finish is way better feeling than leather, at least for my taste. Btw the service from this guys at Urotuning, as always, is outstanding.
