RE: quick poll - MoMo knobs

["Richard Deede" <rdeede@hotmail.com>]

Im pretty sure a miata has a different shifter setup than out sciroccos so 
it very may have felt really nice. I just know that on Sciroccos, it is 
*very* notchy when cut down and using a short shifter. Give it a try and the 
worst thing that happens is you take the short shifter back out. Not a hard 
job.
