The knob is shorter, so that's how you get a shorter throw. Longer stick, longer travel. It does not replace a true SSK, never will, but combine a SSK with a stubby knob and it's

Excellent, now if we could just get the anthracite headliner and alcantara/shadow blue cloth seats...

do they make that for Steptronic? That shift knob is amazing.

Just installed the knob today. Other that the fact it's a slightly shorter throw, the best part is that the knob is weighted. When I took off the original knob it seemed to be a flimsy piece of plastic. The weighted m-sport knob snaps back very nicely when shifting out any gear. It's a must have for those who like the look.

p.s. Dont mention how dusty my interior is...

So you just pull the knob straight up to get it off? Or do you have to remove the center trim?

No removal of the center trim is required.

I was looking at my center console and the boot will come off without having to take the center console apart.. You just pull on the leather boot.
