Default Changing shift *****!!

Do any of you guys change your shift ***** w/ the seasons? I know I am going to put an old civic one i found lying around the garage. It is just way to unbearable to drive or shift and hate it because you feel like your hand is going to be unseperated from the shift ****

my skunk2 is impractical for any season- burning hot in the summer and freezing in the winter, but i love the way it feels and looks too much to change it.

do like I did and get a polyurethane shift ****...feels good no matter what the season! it's metal on the inside, so it's strong...and polyurethane for the grip

i love my skunk2 ****. i usually cover it in the summer when i park so it doesn't get burning hot when i get back to the car. and yes the counterweight makes a world of a difference in feel, feels like its stock on the skunk2 shifter, i had the oem **** on my shifter at first and it was like i was fighting the shifter.

does the sk2 shifter have problems such as knocking against the cat or vibration/rattle issues?

When my car was running with an SK2 **** I used a glove on my right hand when it was too hot in the summer or too cold in the winter.

no problems but i have stock exhaust for now. vibration is the normal vibrations from the car, rattling is the ring on my shift boot hitting my shifter which isn't very often. so all in all i'd say its actually like stock just with a shorter throw. hth
