New shift **** (pics)
Just got my new shift ****, courtesy of the the Knobmeister. It's mahogany, with the rotary symbol etched into it. It matches the interior really well. I love it!

Very nice shift **** Tom. The Knobmeister is very well known in the Miata community and does excellent work. I had him make up the first RX-8 laser cut license plate surrounds for me

re: shift feel
Well, it's definitely different. I didn't realize how heavy the stock **** really is until I took it off! I would say it's a little notchier, but some shifts (like 4-5) are easier (less clumsy?). Less effort required overall, and you can shift with two or three fingers and a light touch. It took me a few days, but I decided I prefer it over the stock ****.

Mahagoni? (is mahogany the english word??)
Sounds like MERCEDES BENZ!
Or....... Oltimer?
Or.....Very British? Is the Car Green painted?
No way...i don`t like it.......the RX is a SPORT CAR! Not a Limo!!!
If the **** will be in aluminium or another METAL material with the ornament (symbol) i will give 10 points for the Knobmeister!!!
The symbol is PERFECT....but woody-style????

Heh! Yes, my car's green, with the black and tan interior. (Mmmm, black and tan...)
Thanks for your comments. The **** really does fit the look of the interior. I wasn't interested in getting a metal **** that gets cold and hot. The Knobmeister can definitely do both, though!
