I appreciate that.

Thanks,

knob looks sick!!

I agree with that opinion. However, i may now have acquired my 2nd FAiL.

Somehow my Mazdaspeed shifter -has no shift adaptor- I also didnt get a shift adaptor with my Jbarone Heavy shift knob purchase. Errrrrrr???? Did i miss something? :aargh4:

Email me a picture of the bottom of your shift knob to jamesbaroneracing@gmail.com

All knobs are shipped with the adapter. Are you sure you didn't just spin it on and run the adapter down in to the knob?

Thanks,
Jamie

Ordered mine last night, around idk 5 I was at the gym for maybe 30 minutes and got a email on my phone saying it shipped. Pretty excited for all the stuff to get here.

Yes i did check the install instructions- even before i received the knob- I will use the terminology described in the instructions to clarify my Question.

Is the shift Knob supposed to arrive with an aluminum shift adaptor-? I did receive the jam nut
(which is clearly shown in the 1st install picture), but not the aluminum shift adaptor.

Got mine install today. I always thought shift knobs were mainly for ricers that wanted to mach their bright orange shift knob with their bright orange interior. This things really got some function, as shifting now is so ridiculously effortless an infant could do it. Well made product, thanks!

I agree one hundred percent man, shifting this thing is effortless now and I definitely feel like my driving has improved.

ugh, I'd be all over this if I had a job

Just recieved the SS plate and weighted shift know combo. Blazing fast shipping and the shit looks great! Thanks JBR

Had my knob for a while now, thoroughly impressed with not only style, but also functionality. CANNOT beat the quality for the price anywhere.

Jamie,
just sent you the payment for the weight kit and the shift knob combo

Jamie,

How is the finish on these, as far as temperature wise, when it gets extremely hot or cold? I live in Las Vegas, so if I have to park in the sun on a 120 degree day (thankfully I usually don't) I dont want to have to put a sock on my shifter. The stock aluminum shift knob in my 06 evo was horrible for this. Also interested in purchasing the shift plate, shifter bushing, knob combo, so please let me know so I can get this ordered. Thanks.

I live in vegas as well, and I have one of JBR's shift knobs. I got the black with red pattern (as my post says) and the cold isn't really bothersome. The heat on the other hand can warm the knob up (since it is black...) There was a fairly hot day not too long ago (was it 2-3 days ago?) that it was close to 80 degrees. The knob was warm, but not scalding (it was sitting in the sun all day). Have yet to experience the 120 degree weather, and will post updates (or you can pm me) on when it gets hotter....that is if you can wait that long lol.

In 120 degree sun the knob is gonna get hot. Here in IL when it gets up around a 100 I use a sun shade in the car and the knob gets warm but not scalding.

PM's with combo details.

Thanks,
Jamie

anyone got pictures on the car? The pictures in the top post are gone for me.

Sorry about that. The pics in the OP have fixed and you can find install pics here:

This is probably going to a stupid question, but I'm going to ask anyway because I'm interested in the knob. (There's almost nothing I won't do to improve shifting on this otherwise fun car.)

Weighing in at ~3x more, will the heavier knob place extra stress on the entire shifting assembly of the car? Surely, a few hundred grams doesn't sound like much, but if it's few hundred grams above the threshold of the stock assembly, I'd be concerned.

Thanks!

No extra stress just buttery shifting.

Thanks,
Jamie
