Why worry when the **** / grip can be changed in less than a minute?
My hand does occasionally slip off the ****, but not enough to warrant changing to a handle. It's personal preference, I wouldn't mind the T handle or pistol grip but the **** is the most practical to me.

typically some form of a metal **** is the only way you can lean when you want a nicely weighted ****, though.
i feel like the hurst **** looks great (i have white), but it's too light.
i'll buy a TWM **** and just deal with it in the summer. in winter i wear gloves anyway.

Lol I'm so glad I live in Southern California... It barely gets to freezing where I live. It gets to a little over 100° in the summer sometimes though. But the heat isn't that bad, it cools off pretty quick with the AC. You can always cover it with a micro fiber cloth, as long as it stays out of the sun it will be fine. I usually have one in my car for cleaning the nav screen or the mirror or the inside of the windshield. I had a TWM Abrams in my last car... Also, I had 5% tint on all the side and back windows. So that helped a little
I'm going to order a Hurst T handle myself. I like the look of them. Has the feel of old school muscle car.

Maybe im missing something but i Noticed the picture of the kit is for a 2010+ camaro, what exactly are you doing to the supplied kit to adapt to the v1s that isn't already done besides the ability to use the stock shift ****?
Little confused in that and how it shortens the actual throws is all. Thx for any clarification.

I had a t-handle laying around, tried it on the v and it was out of place IMHO.
The white hurst ball sucks.
Paying over 125 bucks for the weighted ball is insanity. I found a 2" ball bearing from McMaster Kerr for cheap and when I get back in town i may order it, chuck it up on the lathe, punch a hole in it and then see what kind of upholstery options I have for covering it.

Purchased this and Brian was nice enough to offer to install it for me. Met up with him at his shop and put it in earlier today. Feels like a completely different car! Great product and great guy!

I made a thread on what it takes to do this on your own(search for it). Brian has a slick setup here to make it all work well with one stop shopping.
Like all short throw shifters the base length is longer and the top length is shorter making the throws shorter (it is all a simple lever)

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I think I'll give it a shot. Nice thing about this shifter is that the handle is easily replaced. I had another mod jump in front of this one on the priority list though, so it might be a little bit before I pull the trigger here. First, it's gonna be Philistine's master cylinder though.
If it's brushed, I'd gladly take it off your hands if it's still just sitting around...
