I just swithched my OEM short knob for the Whalen Shift Machine (pollished SS). I thought that the OEM short, though indeed shorter throw, made the box feel efen notchier than the OEM long. THe super heavy Whalen looks great installed (I'll post pics later this week when my pedals and 19" m6's are installed), and the weight really makes the throw feel more solid and smoother. The drawback is the fact that it always feels too cold or too hot, depending on the air temp, and it takes a long time to change temp. I generally flick the knob and go back to the wheel, so it's not a big issue for me, but if I lived in AK or AZ, it would be a big disadvantage.
