carved block of aluminum on a lathe.
was gonna do titanium but its like $300 for a foot long black. :(
so i went aluminum. its light and pretty strong.

How does it compare with the counter weighted knob you had before?

which one? i tried like 3 of them... so far this one feels the best.
direct feel to shifting kinda like the stock MR one but lighter and fits my hands better and lower.
the other ones i had were too heavy and felt like i was shifting a truck.
i have always liked the direct light feeling of my shift knobs. i can shift faster with this than the heavier ones.

Nice craftsmanship. I want a shift knob like the ARC one but I'd rather not spend $100.

well for the 5spd it will be easier to make since i wont have to countersink the knob where my 6spd reverse lever goes into...
i'll let you guys know when i make a few i like and start mass producing :P
it shouldnt be long.
