pic's of my TypeOneRacing B-Max 182 Ti shift knob (P/N ALL-54102-T182R)

lowered the stick by ~1-3/16", i like the "smaller than others" size, the Ti look and shorter throw. well worth the 2min install and $100 price tag

new pics of my droped knob - notice the color is gone...

nice...g.l..bro...

NICE i'm trying to sell mine!

put in a good word for me? :)

It doesn't actually change the geometry of the shifter, so you can't really say it has a shorter throw, just a lower placement of your hand on the same shifter. :)

I yanked my Honda Access Ti knob that I put in my teggy before I left and quickly installed it in the S nisen. That al/leather stock knob just doesn't aesthetically please me at all and the HA Ti knob is also a tad bit heavier than the stocker. So a win-win situation really.

closer ur hand gets to the bottom of the shifter..the shorter the throw.
angle still the same..distance changes

i dont think you know what you talking about.... it makes the throws shorter, if you are interested you can do a search on s2ki....

is it heavy like the Voodoo Ti knob? I love mine.

its smaller, doesn't have a collar like the voodoo and weighs less. it's closer in size to the original voodoo. the current model is a 2" ball w/ collar

6.5 oz vs 10 oz for the voodoo..

i dont mean to sound rude but i think he knows way more then you...

like he said "It doesn't actually change the geometry of the shifter"

and fyi its not a short shifter or a short shifter knob its a countersunk shift knob.

btw the knob looks great.

yea it does not make the throw shorter.

For more confirmation, it does NOT make your throws shorter. Its just a countersunk shiftknob. I'm also from s2ki and you need to do more researching and learning before making accusations you can not prove.

i think he is just saying that with a shorter stick, your hand movement would be shorter which is true and u cant argue that.
the whole point of a short shifter is to reduce the throw.
Although this is not 'literally' a short shifter, but the outcome is similiar. Obviously it is not as effective, but overall, it does do same thing so dont flame the guy.

no buddy you are wrong too lol

never called it a short shifter - it's a short shifter knob which will shorten the throw because of the direct link design the s2k has. i don't expect you rsx guys and your "shifter cable" design to understand.

Nice pick up, i have a T1R B-Max knob in my EP3...i love how its "smaller" in size as you mentioned, no "neck" aka collar, and its semi weighted (182g) so its not paperweight heavy nor "chicken nugget" light. If you remember to, please let me know if your T1R knob fades, i had mine for about a year now and it went from looking like this:

to this:

*Both knobs are T1R...first picture is from aj-racing and 2nd pic is from jhpusa.
*My knob looked like the 1st pic initially, then it faded and now looks like the second pic.

you just need to stop right here, like we all said it has nothing to do with what you are saying. The fact that you dont expect us rsx guys to understand because we have shifter cables makes you look even more stupid because that has nothing to do with it anyway:laughat:

BTW fellow s2k guys have already posted up as well in against to what you are saying and they have no shifter cables. Like I said it has nothing to do with it anyway.

It amazes me how the people who understand simple geometry (TheSilverBullet, bibiboo) get yelled at by the people who don't and think that short shifters are made of magic. All other parts remaining the same, a shorter stick/knob = shorter throw!

From "The Definitive Short Throw Shift Thread (http://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=516457)":
"Short shifters trade distance for effort in one of two ways. The easy and cheap way is to simply shorten the part of the shifter above the ball (fulcrum). You can do this by cutting off and rethreading a stock shifter. Or you can get a countersunk shift knob which effectively does the same thing. The second way is to keep the overall length of the shifter the same but move the ball (fulcrum) higher on the shift lever." (Emphasis mine)

It seems like no matter how many times you explain this to people, they won't believe it. :crazy:

seriously, how is this still a question? A countersunk knob shortens the throw, period.

I love my T1R knob in my ep...shorter throws out of dash mounted "rally style" shifter = pure bliss.
