Default Avoid the ****!

I am interested in replacing my shiftknob on my '02 and I was looking at the selection of MOMO's at LAPD.....should I avoid ***** with set screws? Should I just buy one that threads right on?
Need advice......

Set screws can be a pain..I had a MOMO with a set screw that popped off during some aggresivve driving. Scared the crap out of me..I personally would go with one that screws on

I have a MOMO Race Air Leather that I got from LAPD. I've had no problems with it at all.

Check out the MGW Gripper ***** at http://www.mgwltd.com/.
I have one and love it. It threads down low on the shaft and seems to actually shorten the throw of the shifter.
