Count me in for an A/T ****.

Take my money.

I need a new shift boot while I'm at it. Will these work with SxExCx's shift boot?

Lol Yes these will work with SXEXCX's shift boots. I will try to get some pictures of what it will look like installed with those boots as soon as I finish the first A/T ****.

In a panic situation you put a lot of weight on the shifter, if you are driving spirited and you accidentally push it into neutral with a push type you might slip a little further. Plus, I don't want a **** that will move on me.

Aesthetically, I want a **** that is the same color as the lever used to shift it . Thanks for taking in our considering.

I can understand your reasoning. Not sure if you have actually tried one of my shift *****, but the pressure on the spring is pretty firm and doesn't push down that easily.

Just curious, what shift **** are you currently using? I want to get a better understanding of the style you like.

Like OEM lol. Just not as awkward... Yours looks comfortable (edit: ergonomic).

I like the the one on the right. Looks like a more developed product with more curves. The thicker one on the left looks a little "unfinished".

Since this part features a 5 axis production process, would like to see the final product show as many various curvatures as possible while still looking like a shift "****".
I think the one on the right is getting just about there.
