I have that problem with the aluminum shifter on a 4Runner, which is not too bad since I wouldn't be shifting as much as on a 6MT.

BTW, the dry carbon also doesn't match the other CF pieces since there was no choice in the G whereas the F did. Can't have it all I suppose.
I got the aluminum knob installed, and I love it! It is few grams lighter than the stock indeed, but it feels so much better in the hand and the shits are so much more precise.

As far as the install goes, it took 10 minutes but I did break the tabs on the stock knob.
