I looking for a leather shift knob or a shift knob that has a good feel to it. (

What shift knob do you guys recommend or are running. i would prefer leather or other material than metal because i don't want it to burn my hands on hot days.

so far im look at the gt and the other leather shift knob by nismo.

Post up Yo recommendations:pface

Yeah i have the Nismo GT Titanium, and i like the feel. I wish i would have goten the hard rubber one instead. as the metal one gets damn hot, but i didnt buy it so i dont mind. going to make me a little reflective cover to put over it while it seats in the sun.

i heard that the the nismo gt is small. i have big hands (size large gloves) so how small is small.

i got some big generic one that a friend sent to me. it had allot of meat near the top of it (aluminum) so i drilled it and tapped it. (put threads) and it sits allot lower and shifts nice. i cant complain since it was free and i originally didnt have one

I am 6'6" so i have pretty big hands also. It is small but i like it, but i would recomend the hard rubber one to keep the temps down.

Got one for a z32, bought it from courtesyparts.com. A little larger then the factory 240 and wrapped in leather. Feels great, nice fit, in my opinion, better then any aftermarket shift knob.
