Who is running what kind of shift ****? I've had some issues with a Momo and the Corksport. Anything with the the bolts on the bottom to hold it on sucks. So what have you got, how does it attach, and how low/high does it sit?

 

I have a Momo Airleather with a thread adapter on it..

 

I hate short shifters. I bought a fake leather one from pep boys and the pile of **** came loose and I had to glue the ******* thing together and duct tape it to the shifter. Pardon my french but try driving with a loose *** shift ****. I just don't see reason in spending $50+ on a shift ****. But then again I'm sure they aren't nearly the pieces of crap they sell at auto parts stores. And I can't find a single black leather boot. All I find are dipshit colors with gay *** light up shifter *****.

 

this thread adapter, where did you get it?

 

I found it on nasioc.com, a Subaru forum. It was on my Impreza, and I rethreaded it.

Flamin, a Short shifter isn't a shift ****.. You can also buy shift boots that thread onto momo ***** if the sloppiness isnt your style..

 

I run the stock ****, I dunno I just love it.
I have a custom boot that I hand made from a pair of camouflage pants.

 

I run on a stock one too.....i juss love it more than any of my others freinds after market shift *****...

 

I find the stock S4 shift **** to be about perfect.

 

i took the top half of the shifter off leaving just the short 1/2 inch steel shank off the ball joint. From there I drilled holes for the set screws in the shank, and used a straigh aluminum shift **** that is more like a handle like a 1.25 inch diameter 4 inch long piece of metal. I love it the bottom of the shift know is almost flush with the shift boot trim

 

i got the shift **** from the new BA ford falcon (here in Aus)

its very chodey.... but it fits perfecdtly in my hand.

its alluminium with a leather wrap arround the middle

i had to fab some brackets to get it to fit.. but its worth it

 

B&M, 35 bux fits perfect

 

Momo, Red aluminum shifter, its frickin awesome, 50 bucks.

 

I have an 5-speed Rx-8 **** on order from the group buy.. They feel very nice, and have a cool rotor on the top A bit pricey at ~$200, but eh..its a very nice ****.

 

I found a posting somewhere sorry I forget. I am in the process of buying one of his custom made leather shift boots. He will do any color with any stitch color you want. He can also sell you the trim plate also email him for the link to his work vertrx7@yahoo.com. I am paying $50 for the boot and a new trim plate.

 

Yep, that's what I got. Momo black sphere shift **** with momo shift boot that threads into it, very nice.

 

Your right about the classic set screw attachment on many ***** is not adequate.

I like the old school wood ball. It grips good & stays cool.

To beef up the set screw, I tap the 10-32 for a larger ¼-20 set screw.
I also drill the ball so it sits down a little lower.
Filing a small flat on the shifter gives the set screw a good bite.
A short piece of heater hose insulates the lever under the ****.

 

My gf bought me this for my b-day last year: http://www.sportsimportsltd.com/momspherknob3.html

I really like the thing a lot.. fits very well in my hand.

 

my stock s4 shift **** is the ****, anybody who changes it would need to get kick in the face and spit on.

 

rx8 6speed shifter and RX8 leather shift boot thingy...takes a few days to get used to because of the shape but then it feels real good..great quality and looks great...paid about $60....

 

Mazdaspeed, Burlwood........check corksport

 

pfft i just use the short shifter handle who needs a **** O_o

 

RE amemiya shift **** for moi.

 

i got the razo 200g carbon fibre shift ****. its adjustable to 3 heights too. feels great! i like it better than the stock s5 leather one (mine was wearing down and the stitching was killing my hand...) you feel the car better... but some ppl might not like how you can feel all the vibrations from the tranny and stuff. eh oh well lol i like it!

 

Razo RA-3, gold
Shortens the shifter quite a bit.
I don't care for short shifters myself, and I love the placement and feeling.

It uses a plastic insert which you just screw on until it stops.
If you screw it all the way down until it contacts the shift lever, the metal-to-metal contact can drive you crazy.
I thread the shift **** down and then back it off a few turns.

Because the shift **** is metal, it gets kinda hot in the sun.
I try to be careful when the sun is shining.

^yeah thats how mine is too w the plastic insert. i just kept turning it and tirning it and it got really tight but i can keep going. im not sure tho if i do it all the way if the bottom of the **** will hit the other metal tho...
