It's small. The little metal bolt at the top of it gets VERYYYYY hot in the sun so be careful.

The size is perfect for me. I added the extension and custom shaped the ballcock. This made it perfect for pistol gripping. The stock **** cramped my hands.

No... cause you really should be putting up a sun visor to protect the dash Honestly, I live in Hawaii, and I have left it in the sun... and not once have the **** been too hot to hold, or the metal bolt been too hot.

Great ****. The feel is perfect for me. Not slippery, not too textured. Perfect size (with the extension).

Here's hoping my recently ordered TI shifter doesn't spin.
Does anyone else have this problem mentioned in another forum.

You're supposed to use thread lock... Permatex Blue... says so in the Nissan Manual... your stock **** was a ***** to remove because it had thread lock.

I have the same **** and love it. I wanted a smaller shift **** and as previously stated it makes the stock one seem huge. I noticed a big difference in the smoothness of shifts with this **** compared to the stock ****.

I didn't use anything to keep my shifter from coming undone, just tightened it by hand till I felt it was on good enough and left it alone. Never had any problems until my girlfriend decided to play a trick on me and loosen it.

I notice mine does get a lot colder in colder weather than it does hot in hot weather. Never had a problem with heat after leaving it in the sun for hours. Def. worth the money IMO.

The bolt on top is what keeps the piece you hold and the actual screw on the shifter together. You need all three pieces in order for it to stay.

Mine raddels at high RPM's but it's faint. If you have it properly tightened it shouldn't make any noise at all.
