I've been thinking about it but I have to pull my battery to do it so it won't happen till spring for sure.

I've driven one with it removed and I did kind of like it.

If you want a weighted knob. I'll sell you my Focus Central aluminum knob for $20 (it has the reverse lockout).

Let me know. I bought something different for this year.

I also have that A/F guage too if you still want it.

i'm a big fan of the weight of my stainless steel shift knob, but not a big fan of the shape. It weighs about a pound
