I wonder if they have an agenda?

I have one, it's solid copper, weighs about 10x's what the plastic factory one weighed.
Shifts much smoother to be honest.
I can't think of any legitimate reason a heavier knob would cause wear on linkage parts or synchros.
I've been running it for about 50,000 miles so far and I don't expect to ever have major transmission issues, or at least not related to the stupid knob.
