Just went to look for the **** and it's gone off the top of the fridge........part of the wife's fiendish plot to tidy the house to improve the chances of selling it (the house that is) LOL.
I can't ask her where she has put it because the local mum's are out at the pictures watching "Mama Mia", the sing along version.....wine cunningly hidden in opaque lucozade bottles !!
I'll have a hunt when the kids are in bed, you could also PM Stalked! , I bought it from him then went and swapped for a 6 speed box
Cheers

With a heavier gear ****, the shift lever is still free to move...

Although holding your hand constantly on the gear shift lever is supposedly bad for your transmission, I think its more of a case, that when you have your hand on the lever, it puts a bit of load on the transmission. You'll notice that when you drive, the lever moves around a little, but when your hand is on it, it won't move... The natural movement of the lever being resisted by your hand, I think is the reason for being detrimental to your tansmission...

Personally, I like a bit of weight in my gearknob, remember reading about someone who bought a new gearknob, and it was too light,giving a weird shift feeling...

If you only rest your hand on the **** now and again, this will cause less damage than permanently having the extra weight on from a heavier **** for 1000s of miles.
Thats my point.

Depends if the extra weight or pressure you are putting on by resting your hand on the lighter **** is equivalent to the extra weight in a heavier gearknob.
If you only rest your hand on the **** now and again, this will cause less damage than permanently having the extra weight on from a heavier **** for 1000s of miles.
Thats my point.

Lol, but my previous point was, that when holding the gearstick with your hand, usually the gearstick will not move because you are "holding it"... With the heavier gear ****, yes it is a heavier load on the gearstick compared to the oem ****, but the gearstick can still move around freely...
And my original point was the heavier gear **** will indeed restrict this 'free' movement due to the extra force from the 'box needed to move it, thus simulating a similar scenario of having ones hand resting on the **** itself.Shall we agree to disagree, before spoiling the thread?
