My wife is not so hot at driving a stick. She loves my car but has the nasty habit of missing gears. For example she'll shift from 2nd to 5th and it totaly frustrates her. I am getting ready to install a pro 5.0 shifter but was also wondering if anyone has come across a metal gate to replace the factory leather boot or do you know of someone that could custom make a piece for a reasonable price? You know the kind of metal shifting gates the higher end sports cars come with.

interesting question...would definetly take some fabricating and trial and error testing. How many times has she drove the car? I know my wife said the 6-speed was a little hard to get used to compared to her 5-speed Integra she used to drive but I had already warned her about being careful when downshifting and not to go from 5th to 2nd <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> ! She mainly complained about the skip shift and hated it..told her to give it a little more gas and problem solved <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> .

Still interesting question, never seen one on a manual f-body even since the 1982 models.
