Re: quick poll - MoMo knobs

maybe get the hurst wannabe one. (empi shifter) i have this shifter, but i'm
not as tall as you guys. but it's a little shorter than stock and it's more
straight, chromy too. you can get it at jcwhitney. plus you don't need to
push down with this shifter. there's a pull ring on it for the reverse.
should be able to use a momo knob on this.  and the whole rod is kinda
heavy,which i like. feels pretty cool in my roc. plus it's different :-)
