Ya, it feels really good and responsive. I don't know if it makes sense, but the feel seems to carry down to the transmission more (to me) where with the stock knob, I just feel like I was moving the knob around.
Thanks buddy!

YES!!! You are SPOT on with your analysis of the new knob. For one, it actually is a little shorter in height, which results in shorter throws. But the biggest advantage I think is in "feel" during gear rowing... it seems to snick-snick better, plus you can really feel like your more in-tune with the transmission... like you're "one".... more sporty, better feeling, better engagement. I think it's both mental and physical, but there are some definite physical changes that are there.... I love it.
