I really like it!
It shortens the shift considerably and results in a more "meaty" shift. Feels really solid and positive compared to the standard. I'm quite surprised at how different it feels .

Does it call for a shorter shift boot?
I'll be talking to the upholsterers tomorrow about a shift boot and was wondering if the shorter shift knob would benefit from a custom boot? And maybe a sock?

Ooops, just checked the linked thread and I guess the answer is yes.
I just ordered one of your knobs (etched S2000/6 speed). If you can get it to me by next weekend I'll show it off at the club run on Sunday.

A shorter boot would be more aesthetically pleasing although it doesn't seem to bother me much when shifting. It would only do that if I felt I was grabbing the boot on shifts and that doesn't occur.

Cool. If you've got some business cards put them in as well.

I have to highly recommend Muz's shift knob. Got mine this morning. Billoddy courier woke me at 7am after the New Order concert last. Should've seen my feeble attempt at a signature on the delivery note.
Anyways, I was heading out about 10:30 so I though I would have a go at installing it. Took all of 5 minutes. Even screwed down to proper alignment (was that planned?) but I tightened up the lock screw anyway.
The feel is amazing. It fits in your hand comfortably and the shift is so short and precise. Can't wait to really give it a work out this weekend.
Muz, great work. I love it.
