I have a older Miata **** on order. It's shorter than the factory **** and slightly thinner w/leather as well.
Do not know if it is weighted though. + !/4 of the price of a new factory ****.

What sites sell greddy, razo, veilside, voodoo, etc. shiftnobs? Because I was just about to buy the replacement (my stitching is coming apart) but I found out the dealer wants to charge $130 for it!!

I got the greddy shift *** too and it feels ok, the only thing is when you park your car in the sun and the sun light actually beats on you metal *** and heats it up. It's very hard to grab it after it heats up. *ouch*

I bought a Momo Race **** which is the ball style leather on top with the momo logo and aluminum on bottom. I also got a momo boot which screws directly into the bottom of the ****, replacing the bottom "cap" that comes with the ****. I like the combo a lot. It looks very clean. go to http://optionsautosalon.com/. they have different *****/boots.

I bought the F-16 shift ***. The car already reminds me of a little fighter plane cockpit, so now with the shiftnob it feels kinda like you flyin a plane. I know its kinda weird , but yea I like the Momo ***.

I have the momo cobra on my car.. it fits nicely.. the right height.. its a BIT above stock height, but it still feels comfortable.. the shift boot won't fit perfectly, so u'll need to put a sponge or something in the boot to hold it up under the ****...

I don't like the "universal" style ***** b/c they use little allen (alan?) screws to stay affixed. I had my Momo Combat c/f shifter rip off three times at the strip and deep sixed it.

I have the mazdaspeed c/f (which screws on like the stocker) and can't say enough about it. I absolutely love it, and it's real c/f too. The rx7store and rx7.com both carry it.

i had the momo combat shifter with the little scews and it was always coming off too.....i also started missing gears with it......maybe b/c it wasn't weighted or something.....i ditched it to and went back to the stock one...
