Question Heavy weight shift ****?

Heavy weight shift ****
let say around 465 grams / 1.0 pound shift ****.

vs.

OEM weight around 140 grams / 0.3 pound (not sure)




I understand the heavier it get, the easier to shift.

But will the extra weight damage the internal parts like one shift very hard or over shifting?




Thanks

stock **** is pretty heavy already. no reason to go heavier imo.

if you want an easier shift, look for a shift extender on ebay. it will add height to the pole that goes to your ****. increasing your shift distance, but increasing the torque too, so shifting is easier. $10 on ebay. im very happy with mine.
