I know there is a thread on shift **** pictures alone, but I would like to take a little survey. Choose your own preference for aftermarket shift *****.

 

If I have to buy metal I like it light. but metal gets hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Im a fan of non-metal

 

i like suede gear ***** and steering wheels.

 

I go with carbon, doesn't burn or freeze my hand.

 

Voo Doo = Perfect in everyway. I don't have to worry about cold ***** and hot ***** are avoided by a window shade.

 

Keep in mind the stock RX8 shift **** is ~ 310grams, which has always been considered a heavy ****.

 

Love my VooDoo shift ****, wouldn't trade it for anything else.

 

I had a voodoo, Got bored of sphere ***** so I sold it. Now im looking at getting a cylinder type, Was really looking at BLOX ***** and that might be a choice. I have seen a like teardrop **** that looked great. Cant seem to find them though.

 

Wait.......I thought the 8 plugged into your head and shifted when you wanted it to.

 

Thats what I was told when I bought it..still havent figured out how to work it

 

If you have a short shifter, you almost have to stick with a light ****, otherwise extra mass works against the swift, precise shifting that the shifter affords.

I'm not voting, because I haven't found the aftermarket **** that I like better than stock. It's not a super-lightweight, but isn't close to being a "weighted" ****.

 

I love my VooDoo too. I much prefer it to the OEM because I rest my palm on top of the ****, rather than wrapping my fingers around the **** like a lot of folks do.

 

Stock **** FTW!






Now, don't ban me from this thread, guys!

 

Just got me a new one from www.sickspeed.com went with white looks great and shifts smooth



going to order the wife the black with yellow lettering from below for her LY GT

 

Our transmission transfers so much heat directly to the shifter, i don't know how you guys use metal spherical *****. Even the metal top to my JDM illuminated **** gets hot after driving for an hour. The Metal Voodoo I bought was unusable after an hour, even in winter.

 

I personally like the oem leather and aluminum shifter, but it is degrading and I will need to find a replacement eventually.
As some people have mentioned metal shifter get hot so I was thinking on getting a suede momo shifter but the shapes don't seem optimal for quick shifting and comfort.

 

I live in Arizona and even on 120 degree days of getting in the car I don't find it unbearable to shift. Yeah it's really hot but after a bit with the air conditioning it cools down.

I don't find that the **** heats up from the tranny too bad even on longer drives. Gets warm at the most. Then again I don't really rest my hand on the shifter during daily driving and when I'm driving aggressively both hands are on the wheel.
