Priorties... pay then play... hence the order of work... plus the driveway will be dammit cold that early in the am...I ordered one of the MGW shifter knobs also...The Gripper.... black SS emblem...

I have it, LOVE IT, the grip/feel is perfect, but it does get cold in the winter

Is the actual handle plastic?

It's a great piece of gear, MGW makes top quality stuff. I love mine.

I have it and it's simple to put in.

Jeanius · 12-26-2009, 11:20 AM

I think the knob only fits the MGW shifter

That knob can be put on the stock shifter. Here is a thread.

I have that knob on the MGW shifter installed in my car and it is like a bolt action rifle. The knob is nice in the winter. Not cold. But if you touch the top with the small of your arm, tuning the radio etc, it is cold and can be kind of a shock! LOL.
