I replaced my shift **** today with a Sparco X-Speed model. It is aluminum with a black leather stripe. I didn't like how it seemed to give with the supplied mounting method so I fabricated my own using some parts I had on hand combined with some of the supplied pieces. The **** is now threaded to fit the shifter instead of being self-tapping.

 

Looks nice. Good choice. I wonder what it would look like on a 5-speed.

 

If I had a 5-speed I would probably go with something that is shorter. I liked this one on the auto since it's kind of long and gives somewhat of a stock appearance.

 

That definately hott.
