It does feel like your driving a truck but once I get a short shifter it'll be perfect probably. All I need to do is remove the brass fitting thats in there and switch it to the right thread size.

Here is my Snap On shifter... I love it. It used to be a flashlight but I modified it a little and filled it with silicone to give it some weight. It's a a perfect height nd feels great. Works well my short shifter.

JKL1031 - the one you asked a question about..

whats not to understand?

its a cheap shift knob, the quality is proabably terrible, if you want a cheap knob just go down and get an autozone knob...same thing

which if you remove the leather there is a very nice knob underneath with the 1st-reverse gear sets engraved in it... It's like a transformer...
My shift knob was starting to flake off onto my hand and just feel slimy if I left my windows down over night. So I tore the leather off and ended up with the rubber knob you're speaking of with the 1st through reverse gear set. Does look good but I also hated the feel of it. So again tore off the rubber. You end up with a black plastic skeleton underneath. Again, not very nice to hold onto since it has sharp edges. So I proceeded to bash it into the concrete floor in my cousin's basement until the plastic shattered off the steel core. There was plastic inside the center so I wanted that out too. I clamped the knob in a vice and selected the correct diameter drill bit and drilled the plastic out as far down as I felt was safe without damaging the threading. I then ground off all the paint until it was nice and shiny like polished steel. I used that for about 2 weeks and I was fed up with the metal beginning to rust. So I ground off the rust and used black primer for a good coating.

Today it looks like this and I use it every day. Looks like it needs painted again.
