i have thought of doing this instead since its cheaper and less of a headache.... but i really like stick knobs rather than round ones... just my own personal preference thats all.... the voodoo knobs are nice man i always wanted one... but after i got a similar knob (round one) i only liked it for about a week and switched back to my PWJDM one

For what its worth factoring in knobs and short shifters, my Zele knob is as tall as a TK knob feels just as heavy and is thick enough for big hands...

Lol wasnt tryin to rep it just might be the perfect answer for you though, by the time you shell out for a short shifter and a different knob you would almost be there on price.

Sits about as low as my old TK but it is the right girth for big hands and you still get a good amount of shaft grip

And I was just about to order the B&M without doing any research (which I never do). I'm so glad I read this. For $100, this looks like a far superior product. Thank you so much for the heads up. Reppin'!

You're telling me! After thinking about the B&M for weeks, I just dropped over $300 for the TWM after thinking about it for 15 minutes. Haha!

I've been using B&M for years, never had to grind anything on the install. I have an extended shifter shaft and w/ the B&M short throw's I never miss a gear! TWM makes a great product as well. I know a few guys who run them.
