Thanks guys! OP updated with current status.

I got mine last Thursday, you can update the OP for that too.

czh5005 05-23-2012 11:47 AM

Got mine Jamie, thanks. Your knob feels good in my hands especially with the ribs.

fooqr 05-24-2012 02:15 PM

Ordered silver vein spherical, with kritz o-rings.

deek 05-24-2012 02:46 PM

Delivered and installed

I must of gotten lucky cuz it went on straight perfect the first time. Hardest part of installation was finding my big man screw driver for nut, took longer to find then actually install.

Review,
Jamie your knob is huge, must make your parents proud. Feels great, gonna go swap the rmm to the chrome Molly right now. Don't know if it was just cuz I left the gym or if it's that heavy but 2 lbs is mucho gordo. Felt more like a grenade then a shift knob lol. Makes shifts smooth as butter. (the can kind)

Turkleton 05-24-2012 03:33 PM

You're gonna love the RMM. :)

LatinKraze 05-24-2012 03:53 PM

Ordered! I have the original smooth cylindrical version. I enjoyed it until it slipped out of my sweaty hand the other day, lol. Looking forward to the extra grams and new finish.

Rmm on and solid. Trying to figure out how girls are getting wet though, if people complain about vibes your a sissy lol. Barely can feel any vibes at idle and a little around 1500 rpm, but it's still brand new. The little at 1500 feels like your about to stall but not bad at all. Shifts feel great, no motor slap between shifts anymore I think I may be in love with a man named Jamie lol.

Oh and my exhaust got louder

Turkleton 05-25-2012 01:04 AM

Yeah I've put about 500km on the RMM and the vibes have pretty much settled. From 1200-1800 in 1st doesn't rattle like it used to. The only other spot I've noticed vibes is at 3000-3800rpm, but even then it's not like it was when I first installed it -- I miss how it was a few days ago.

I feel so much more connected to the car on the throttle now, plus the engine sound in the cabin is amazing.

deek 05-26-2012 11:36 AM

Eff me for living in a desert, jbr love your shift knob but it's like 150*+ right now on the sun, gonna try putting a tshirt over it when I have to park it in the sun, would rather burn my hand and shift smooth then go back to the stocker lol.

VRM_MS3 05-27-2012 12:53 PM

got mine last Thursday. thanks JBR

Naaman 05-27-2012 07:13 PM

Would have started sooner if I had the funds. Now that I do, it is time to put a little of it in the car and into the pockets of people making great products for it!

JBR 05-30-2012 06:12 AM

Awesome GB guys, thank so much!!

OP updated with the most current order and status information. If you ordered and aren't listed or your order has been delivered let me know. Most of you should have received them by now.

Thanks,
Jamie

fooqr 05-30-2012 10:54 AM

Mine came yesterday.

@jbarone, if I'm replacing one of your cylindrical knobs for the spherical, can I leave the old aluminum adapter on there, or do I need the new one? Thx.

JBR 05-30-2012 11:05 AM

Use the old one.

G-Man 05-30-2012 08:39 PM

Totally didn't mention I fitted it to my wife, she drives the car for the day and then tells me how much she likes the feel of the new knob :hmmm:

Received yesterday. It's an improvement over the older cylindrical style. Love the finish, the o-rings, and the extra weight makes for an even better shift. Thanks
