RE: quick poll - MoMo knobs

["Fry, Larry" <LEF@chem-tronics.com>]

Talk about dorky:  I replaced the shredded leather shift knob on my 'Roc
with a big ol' white knob from Hurst.  Took some work to press in a metric
threaded insert and engrave the proper 5-speed shift pattern, but it looks
so retro!

I had a short shifter and cut down shifter on my last rocco and while it was

very short it was also extrememly tough to drive 'quickly'. The throws were 
too stiff and notchy and I had to frequently jam it to get in to gear. And 
this was not due because I needed my shift linkage replaced as that was all 
brand new.

My scirocco now has a short shift kit on it but the stifter stalk itself is 
still at stock height and it feels like a perfect balance. I can shift 
quickly and precisely...I can put up with the dorky looking truck shifter 
for better quality gear changing.
