Yes. It is shorter and easier.

From what I understand it does. I also understand that at around 5k rpm it has a bit of a buzz/rattle. Mr. Onzedge has one. Perhaps in his spare time he will comment on this thread. :)

Hey, I did. Mine buzzed when I had the stock knob. Around 4,500 RPM it made a racket but not all the time. I learned to live with it after I was not able to isolate the source of the noise. However, when I installed the PWJDM knob, it went away and it makes no noise at all now. I think the solution may lie in the rubber o-rings I have under the shift boot I put in to raise the shift boot up to meet the knob.

:icon17: they're inexpensive enough it's worth taking the chance. :tup:

how many of you guys were able to salvage your oem knob? I have seen lots of pictures of destroyed ones :ugh2:

oh mine was destroyed by my oil filter wrench. :icon17: nissan used so much thread-lock on some of our cars it is insane! i broke 2 strap wrenches while trying to remove. lol

Can't wait to try then!

if you can cleanly remove your stock knob, there's definitely a market for it in the for-sale section. :D

Mine looks like brand new. I used a large strap wrench and took my time.

^^ he's also king kong. :icon17:

:icon18: Nah... I just learned from everyone's knob removal stories. :tup:

what strap wrench did you use?

I had no problems with the removal of my stock knob. Of course, this is why I mentioned in my earlier description that you're going to have to hulk the OEM knob off! It can, however, be done with finesse and without utter destruction in cases such as the Ken-San! :rofl2:

b&m short shifter with stock shift knob. happy with it
the bulky stock shifter conforms well to my palm so no complaints

So in closing what your saying is that your original equipment knob conforms well to your palm. Ok. I think I've got it now. :)
