Thought swapping to a heavier shift knob would help my shifts, and my hand hates it
So I drive a 2014 WRX and my second to third shift has always felt a little vague, nothing terrible but enough to bug me. Six weeks ago I picked up a 1.2 pound weighted knob because every forum thread said it would smooth things out and give me better feel. What really happened is the shifts got shorter feeling, sure, but now my wrist aches after 30 minutes of city driving and I keep overshooting gears because the weight carries the lever further than my hand expects. I also noticed my hand sits higher on the knob now which threw off my reach to the shifter boot, weird little stuff like that. Honestly I think the stock knob was fine and I just wanted to buy something, which is a bad reason to spend $85. Anyone else go heavier on a knob and end up going back to stock, or did you get used to the extra weight after a couple months?
