you can always check classified section under interior/electronics. most you find online are going to be that universal fit. i think the bolt on there is 12X1.25mm if you want to check amazon or ebay for one. if you're willing to drop some serious cash on one, TWM performance sells weighted ones but they're in the $100+ range

they're pretty solid *****, weighted to work with their short shift kits to make throws easier, but they're only about 400grams. you can easily find other shift ***** with that weight that will work with your car. i would never pay over 60 a ****, i would rather make one for cheaper

I have the twm shoft shifter on xd, but the funny thing is that i had a wheigthed shift ****(a razo) on my car and it was aroud 400mg as well, when that one broke i put the stock **** back on, and for some reason to me the shifts are way smoother with the stock **** wich weights way less, so i dont rlly wanna get another weigthed ****. And yea i wuld never pay over 60 for a **** lol

not 400mg, 400 grams, it comes out to roughly a pound or so.

the trd **** isnt bad, but i personally am not that big a fan of the shaft under the ball, i kind of like the type r style or just the ball, no neck on them. If you like it and it's in your price range go for it.

that would probably work out quite nicely. My shift boot I made out of a crown royal black back, and i'm about to swap it out with another whiskey bag. a sewing machine and some time is all I need.

a boot adapter? there should have been that plastic ring that goes on the shaft of the shifter to hold the boot at whatever height you need it to be at and will slide up and down for different *****

So I took a look at mine, and i didn't notice the groove where the plastic ring sits. You could always try to put a zip tie or something around the shaft that will clamp and allow the ring to sit on top. May not be the best solution, but until you get an adapter or something it may work. You could also try putting a thin piece of rubber under the zip-tie to help hold it against the metal
