    Only if you use it to really jam the gears, which is easier to do.

    That's a chrome plated, fully actuated, genuine, accessory shift knob.

    I think a question that should also be asked is, " Is it pasa to have a tall shifter with low pro rubber?

    That’s a “genuine chromium Plated, fully illuminated accessory shifter knob”
    And you have to be careful when you stab it into fifth gear because that thing can come right off in your hand...

    I asked a guy once about it, he was a big guy,6’3 or so, he said it was easier for him to reach and helped his shoulder by allowing him to keep his arm straight when he shifted vs leaning down to reach the shifter.

    His wasn’t that tall, just around shoulder height.

    Would that really help though is the question. They don't usually know what you've got in your pants until they've already decided they like you well enough to find out.
