If anybody has been to 10th Street JDM website you have seen these. I've had mine for about 4 months and I have been so happy with it. My last shift knob was a SS ball similar in shape to the Lathe Werks knob but I would have to wear gloves in the winter and cover it with an old hackey sack in the summer because I would burn the hell out of my hands. This new knob is perfect. I've been in my car when the thermometer was over 100 and I just grabbed my knob and drove off. It even felt as if the height was a little lower compared to stock. Anybody who has a MT needs to seriously consider one of these because we are getting into the hot of summer, and there is no need to burn your hands to look good. Chris
