So I love the looks of that billet shift knob many of you have.

When I looked at it on ebay, I noted that the thing weighs 3/4 of a pound. Coming from performance oriented manual cars, I always stayed away from weighted shift knobs because of the wear that they can create on a manual tranny's inputs and linkages. (They create the same impact as driving a MT always resting your hand on the shifter...)

So should I have any of the same concerns with an automatic?

Well crap! I have my hand on my shifter constantly! :D

well, being that our SRT8's have the Benz tranny's in them unlike the normal GC's, we really don't need to worry about it as they are made to be torn a new @ss hole. :)
