I want a shift **** that is the same shape and size as the stock unit, but heavier. I'm thinking of taking a stock shift **** to a machine shop and seeing if they can make me one out of brass.

It's a solid shifter **** it screws down tight and flush with no wiggle or jiggle at all!

No more pictures? What are others replacing the OEM **** with when the plastic begins to chip and crack?

Good tip - I like the OEM **** and adding the stainless cap to the top would solve the problem I have.

Anyone who's done it want to chime in on that? Does the cap fit well over the plastic piece and have a comfortable feel when installed?

Right now I am irritated by a sharp edge from a crack in the plastic rotor shape on top of the OEM ****. I'd be disappointed if the stainless cap simply presented uncomfortable edges all around by sitting up too high on the top of the ****.

I have a nice weighted NRG **** that I bought about 5 years back. The bad news is that it's universal, so you have to mess around with inserts, but the good news is it's universal, so I've used it in every car I've owned since (AW11 MR2, GC Impreza, and now the RX-8). Shifts become smooth as butter, and I've never had any transmission issues due to its weight. I would suggest the Race Roots Synchro Saver however, if you are going to use a weighted ****, just to decrease the chances of possible wear.

EDIT: Added picture. This car was a gift to myself when I made Chief, so it is thus appropriately festooned.

Did you have any problems at all with the boot fitting snug, and does it ever spin?

Clean gauge install but i don't know how you do it without the AC vents.

georx8

I never used the center vents anyway.

Lucky. Those vents are crucial in South Texas,

Hey wasn't sure if i was supposed to make a new thread or revive an old one. Has anyone tried using the S2000 shift **** in the 8? I know there is a thread difference and was wondering if using something like this would do the trick.

Trying to look for a new shift **** lol

Why would you bother hassling with an S2000 ****?

aorkennykiller

Just have always been a fan of they way they look and feel. I've been considering the Cobb shifters that were posted in this thread as well as this one:
i'm just worried that the weight difference between the momo and the stock would be too big. Trying to see what options i have in terms of fitment and aesthetics

I love my Voodoo **** and the support is second to none. When the clear coat on mine started to fail after a few years they mailed me a new that day without even asking for mine back.

Trancemission

Im in love. is that vinyl or real carbon around your navi??

ZoomEricZoom

^No way it's legit carbon fiber.. Too expensive. Usually interior carbon fiber stuff is just cheap plastic and probably off of eBay.

Trancemission

Evo R sells alot of carbon fiber trims for the interior. Thats why i was asking because 80$ would be way too much for just plastic

Custom engraving!? I was looking for something somewhat upscale, but this has potential!

EVoR's customer service is the worst, ordering from him is a crap shoot.

Trancemission

Love this new shift ****

Jvswan

I really like this ****. What kind is it? Where did you get it?

Trancemission

it's a carbon fiber RE Amemiya shift ****. I forget the site I got it from. I think it was nengun

So far I've had a razo shift **** and I hate it and also now have a voodoo magnum but I'm not a fan of it either it doesn't seem to screw all the way down onto my short shifter leaves probably 1/4" to 1/2" of space. I was thinking of a cobb but I don't think I like the ball design I don't think I'll be happy 'til I bite the bullet and spend too much on a stock **** in good shape
