I has a ****!

I got a new toy in the mail today...

Custom weighted delrin **** and collar from the Isotope Collection!

A comparison for size:

Literally just got it from the mail and put it on... so I haven't driven with it yet. But I likes it so far!

Current Dr Isotope items: cooling plate, cf battery strap, cai fender panel, delrin ****/collar, custom sub box ON THE WAY!

Damn noobs.

Went for a drive to see what I thought... LOVE it. Something about the difference from the textured OEM one to this smooth one just makes it nicer.

How's it fit in your hand? I'm a fan of the ball-type knbos, but this one looks interesting...

I think it fits well... for my style anyways. I tend not to palm it that much but grab it on the side and wrap my hand around it. So my ring finger ends up wrapping down below the top part.

And just for clarification... I'm describing my hand and the shift **** in my car... and nothing else.

Ya, I've done just about everything else short of changing the clutch/flywheel...

Short shifter, brass cage risers, brass cable bushings... and now a nice weighted ****. I don't think I could drive a stock 5spd anymore without cringing.

You'd have to ask him how high they actually sit.

Delrin is pretty much temperature neutral. It will get warm, but never uncomfortably so. The same goes for cold.

Ya, can't speak for cold yet... but in the few weeks I've had it, not once has it been hot enough that I didn't feel find holding on to it to shift -and it's been left in the sun plenty of times in that period.
