I think I will leave it up to my GF to buy it as a personalized gift, otherwise 25 extra for engraving doesnt tickle my fancy.

Edit: Wow he has wood ones. Hmmmm. That could go nicely with my wooden E-brake handle. Are they the same as voodoo knobs just wood? or what?

Cancelled my order with Goodwin last night and call Joe Knobmeister just now. He is going to hook me up(such a nice guy btw), and the best part is, with some clever negotiation my GF is buying it for me as a anniversary present.

Thanks for the tip Ben, I owe you one.

Ever driven one? I had OEM motor/diff mounts, rarely missed 3rd, got better and better at it. Ended up shifting hard and fast enough from 2 to 3 to break 3rd gear. Swapped the 6-speed in and I don't think I've ever missed 3rd. If you are hitting 5th, you either need to learn to drive, or take a look at your diff and motor mounts.

Simpson short throw and voodoo knob and in 4 years I think I missed 3rd maybe once. I usually have a coupler blow off instead!! :vash:

I used to have this problem bad, one of my syncros went so I replaced the trans over this past winter, then I was still having the same problem. Come to find out, one of my motor mounts was completely broken. I made some semi solid mounts, and it got alot better, but it is still really notchy under full boost.

Didn't someone on here make a engine brace that fixed this? Ben I think?
