What shift **** should I use?

Hi, Im currently undergoing my auto>5speed and I dont have a shift **** but I did purchase my B&M short shifter. I'd like to find a good looking **** with good grip and stuff but I want one that screws to the B&M and not those chezzy 3 hallen bolts that never holds right kind of shifter.

What did you guys purchase and have any pics?

Thanks

I like it too. There's more info about it in the thread that Mahjik mentions. Like the last page or so. Though it gets pretty hot if I don't cover it up from the sun...

I do not like pistol grip, metal, cylinder, or fancy *****. I like a smooth comfortable grip of round wood.

Mine is from a Miata site and has a threaded metal insert and is lead weighted.
They also sell a nice transistion piece to cover the steel shifter and it goes down to the leather. Made from some imported wood. Best gear **** I had since my FB.

Razo drift spec. 480 grams. With different sized inserts instead of lame allen bolts that **** up the threads. I think it looks way cooler than the dull "ball type".

Anyone have any pics of red-stitched ***** that look just like/close to the last few years of the JSpec model FD? If so, where'd you get it? Would like to pick one up along with red boots as shown above at: http://www.redlinegoods.com/FDshiftboot.shtm

Not actually mine of course, but identical to it. Lightest **** I have ever touched in my life. I love the grip of those too.

looks like it's time to get a redline shift boot

Here is mine:


Team Voodoo Titanium. I love it, nice and weighted. Some of you guys are extolling the virtues of a light shift ****, but with my newly rebuilt/tight tranny and short shifter, I find a heavy **** leads to zero missed shifts. Also, the kind that threads on is the best kind without a doubt. I had a shitty momo **** with the small set screws and it loved to fly off during hard shifts at the strip.

It's the Greddy/Grex shift ****. However, i'm going back to the stock shift **** (Thanks Fritz!!) when i get my car back from the shop. That one just gets waaaay to hot for me to handle and i'm not wearing a glove.
