I'm probably going to buy a TWM soon, and i was looking at the knobs on their website. I was looking to buy a new knob, as mine is kinda worn down, but the knobs on the TWM website are like 100 dollars! They claim that their knobs are specailly wieghted and improve shift time, etc. So, is it really worth it? Or should I keep the stocker, buy a TRD knob for about 60, or buy some random new knob for like 15?

If you're a good driver, it isn't going to make a huge difference. Or even a minor one, IMO. Just buy what feels/looks good to you.
BTW, 100 bucks for a knob? I sure wouldn't. Check out ebay -------------------- NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife
