New 5AT shift **** option
I've been searching for years for a decent shift **** to replace the ho-hum blob **** Infiniti put in the 03/04 cars. I knew the Momo **** was an option, but it is expensive and looks a bit too much like a women's play toy. Today I found what I think is the ideal ****. It's billet aluminum and when installed, sits lower and looks much sportier than the OEM part or even the Momo part. It's the right size and has good mass. The aluminum perfectly matches the aluminum base plate too. The best part is it's $20. I got the **** from my local Autozone, but I had first seen it on Amazon, but never pulled the trigger because I was uncertain how it would look.
Here's the **** on Amazon and installed in my car:

The **** is fairly bored out so you'll need to make a shim so that the **** slides on tightly to the shift lever. I used some rubber tubing and electrical tape to make the shim.

No offense, but I'm not feeling it either. Another member here is working on a clean a/t shift **** design. Hopefully he'll have the prototype done soon.

I am curious to see how the automatic **** turns out in the thread you linked. A friend use to have the Razo automatic **** where you pushed done on the **** for shifter interlock, but I was turned off by the fact that the **** spun around freely even though it was fully attached to the lever. It didn't feel right to pull the lever back and have the **** move around in your hand. I want the shifter to feel rock solid.
