Razo makes a heavy shift knob which is readily available at those car part shops, not exactly 1lb though… 340grams about .7ish lbs? ![http://www.rx8club.com/attachments/series-i-interior-audio-electronics-24/94410d1171647859-nice-shift-knob-razo_type340r_knob_2-jpg](http://www.rx8club.com/attachments/series-i-interior-audio-electronics-24/94410d1171647859-nice-shift-knob-razo_type340r_knob_2-jpg) ---
