Shift Ball??
 
j/w which shifter ball you guys think i should get??? i was thinking the mach 1, but i dunno how hot it will get in the 100+ texas heat?? what do you guys recommend?? cuz that the one i think looks the best.

I have the bullitt silver shift knob, It ****ing sucks, When my car's been in the sun all day and i get into it and i touch it, it burns the phuck out of my hand. but yeah, you cant really go wrong when it comes to shift knobs, buy whatever you want.

I have the 35th ball (basically the same as a bullitt) and it gets hot as hell in the summer, and cold enough for break your fingers off in the winter. Id stick to something like the MGW knobs that are that composite material or the FRPP leather wrapped knobs.

Mikes04stang 10-27-2005 10:07 AM

i was looking for like a cover to put on your shift ball(like over night or during the day) but i can find anywhere that sells them. but i know they make them.

Yes, it will get hot as hell! Mine gets hot out when it's only 80-85 degrees so I can't imagine how it would get in Texas heat! It does look cool though

Ghostalker 10-27-2005 10:38 AM

I have the same shift knob, and it gets DAMN cold already, and really hot during the summer, but damn does it look good with the matching shift ring...

Dude, just get some sweet driving gloves and you'll be just fine! ha ha

i just ordered the composit shift knob with 5 spd logo should be good anyone else have this its on the bottom right of shift knobs on this site

Mikes04stang 10-27-2005 10:57 AM

dammit. i really want that bullitt look. i love that type of finish.

SpinMedia 10-27-2005 11:02 AM

Dude its not worth it, it discolors fast, Like right when i bought mine, it was nice and shiney, Now its like flat grey turning into a dark grey almost black

madmatt 10-27-2005 11:24 AM

If you get one, get a sock to put over it in the heat.

Any shifter makes a big difference over stock..It is so much more fun to drive. I just put in my mgw and love it..The tri ax wouldof been my second choice

jjtgiants 10-27-2005 10:13 PM

I have that same set up and it makes a big difference! You'll love how short it is.
