Momo 5spd wrx shift **** weight?

i know i can take it off and weigh it myself but was wondering if anyone had a general ballpark figure? the leather topped one.

i have one and was thinking about possibly getting a weighted (400-500gram) or so.

think it would change the feel of shifting if switched from the momo leather one to a ~450 gram weighted one? Probably not, obviuosly, if the momo one is close to the same weight... but i have a feeling it's like 150 grams or something.

any advice gladly accepted.

any ideas? ballpark figures?

i just want an estimate... i'm thinking that it's prob 150 grams or so, but have no idea... and want to get a ~450gram.

but not if the momo is 400 grams or 350 cause that won't feel any different probably.

lemme know!

Your not going to notice a difference of a heavy vs light shift ****. Just get what feels best in your hand while shifting.

If you want to do an upgrade that feels better while shifting into gear. Upgrade your shift bushings. You can do the normal fron and rear shifter bushings or go the route that I did and get the TiC shifter bushings kit. That comes with the front, rear, and the bushings for the shifter yolk. I have done just the front and rear before and it was better. the full kit, like I have now, is just pure awesomeness when shifting. When I grab a gear it is very crisp and clean. There is practicly no play in the shifter. If you where in the Central Valley at one of the meets I'd let you see.

Yep, I've used different types of shift ***** and the weight really doesn't make much difference in shift feel. I don't like the way the leather top Momo feels.
