I bought the shift **** from another member on the board. Thanks Tware for the fast transaction.

Going from the stock rubbery hollow **** to a smaller solid **** made a huge difference in the feel of the shifts. I really feel like my Z has a new gearbox. It is that dramatic of a feel!! No more notchy shifts. My shifts now are much more precise, solid, and faster. Unlike before I sometimes had trouble getting it into a gear. The **** just feels perfect in my hand and I just love holding on to it. It makes shifting much more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this shift **** to anyone not happy with the way their gearbox feels.




Side by Side comparison

 

i have the same shift ****, and i like it alot .

 

I know I'm immature, how long have you had it? Does it get really hot after it's been in the sun for a while?

 

1 day. Hehe Been driving around all day long and I am just loving it. It's been rainy here all day so haven't been able to test it in 90 degree weather.

 

I just bought one from a member here as well. I'm looking forward to installing it.

 

looks great and im sold on it, just really curious as to any other member with this **** chiming in about how it holds up in the heat????

 

I dont have that shift ****, I have the short lil nismo one... All metal.
It will burn the **** out of your hand when left in the sun.

 

Nice ****...I was considering this one as well, but I don't feel like draping the shifter with a towel during the summer because it'll get too hot. Either way, congrats on the new ****

 

This one is not supposed to burn your hand unless it is under extreme conditions.

It is solid billet CNC construction out of 303 stainless steel, polished ... highly corrosive and scratch resistant with excellent thermal property (8-10 times better than aluminum).

Here's a chart showing two physical properties of the metals:

Material ............ Density [g/cm3] ... Thermal Conductivity [W/m-K]
------------------------------------------------------------------
Al alloy (6063) ......... 2.71 ............ 180
Al alloy (2011) ......... 2.82 ............ 138
Ti (alloy) .............. 4.5 - 5.0 ....... 4.8 - 16.3
Stainless Steel (303) ... 8.03 ............ 16.3

 

I have the same one




I had the Nismo Ti **** before this one- that used to get super hot in the sun... this one.. not as bad, it does get hot, but not to the point where u had to wear gloves to shift!

i think Clint (THX723) made them for Forged...or had something to do with it.

 

That's what she said!

 

Here are the THX SS Shiftknobs:
Glad you guys are all enjoying the feel of the *****.....now I will go away so you can all make jokes....haha. http://www.forgedperformance.com/sto...cat=267&page=1

 

Lol I can't wait till my girl feels my new ****. She is going to love it.

 

have had this for a while and I agree it did help me alot on my shifts. As far as heat and cold it is minimal. In 95 degree heat and humidity in GA I never have burned my hand when getting in the car.

 

Hmmm i have this **** also? not sure on the look but after all of you i may have to install it and try it out, i was just going to sell it.

 

^+1 the look is kind of bland....i wish it came in cf or ti or even black....i'd be all over it.

 

yea, i was wondering also about the heat. i guess you could just always keep a sock or something in one of the cubbies just in case.

 

I agree it should come in ti, that would be hotness. I like how the **** sits with the bracket underneath it or whatever though,.

 

Ti would look hot. Question for owners of this shift ****....there is no need for a finisher with the **** right? Or is the boot all loose??

 

boot is not loose...no finisher needed.
