Being a shift **** wh0re that I am, I had to pick up a new shift **** for myself when I returned from school for break. I've had shift ***** ranging from a stock EP3, to a DC5R, to a Spoon Duracon (and aluminum), to a Skunk2, to JDM ITR, and some more shift ***** in between those, and never had a spherical shift ****. My criteria was the shift **** had to be weighted. I love weighted *****. The Mugen Fit **** wasn't heavy enough and I don't like aluminum because it tarnishes. I contacted Gil for his shift **** because I know his products were of top quality and his prices were great.
Having not driven the R for 4 months(I had itchy feet a couple of months before returning home). A combination of driving my R and having a new 'toy' made those last 4 months forgivable. I must say the CH spherical shift **** is a perfect size for my hand. The machine finish is just beautiful. The shifting is very smooth. I am extremely happy with my purchase and Gil's fast, no hassle business once again. It is too bad I sold my CH extender to my friend before I left.

If you are looking for a new shift ****, I highly recommend CH's spherical shift ****.

I am actually thinking about buying this **** too, but then I am also torn between this one:

I can't decide!

I have a greddy weighted shift ****, it's smaller than this one (i think) but i absolutely love it. i agree with the o/p though, weighted is the way to go. I would definitely get this if i wanted a new one.
You can get one of those no smoking plugs at walmart, I have one in my civic, the only problem with them is they are tough to pull out to plug something in.
I have been wanting to get a Circuit Hero **** forever know. I contacted Gil months ago and the customer service was incredible. I will be picking one up in the futue.

It looks kinda like the shift ***** that come in the SRT-4's...so out of all the ***** you've owned, this is your favorite?...or does the fact that this is the most recent of several ones you've had make you lean towards it more...i'm into shift ***** as well...I currently have a skunk 2 weighted in mine. I think the spherical ones might feel better, but they aren't as quite as appealing (in my opinion).

Yes, this one is more comfortable and weighs just the same as a Skunk2.
probably wont ever get rid of the current setup. im about to take it out of the daily and put it in the hatch so i might have to find a flp and buy another ****. it is just too nice of a combo.
I really like the look and weight in spherical ***** but ive had my JDM ITR titanium **** for 4 years and cant seem to find something i like more... good write up and ill keep this in mind!
I've noticed that aluminum ***** tend to get a little hot in the Florida summer. How is this compaired to other aluminum ***** in terms of heat?

I just modified my Top Fuel for CH's velocity stack. I paired it up with K&N Filter 4600 to match. Had to cut off 3" of Top Fuel piping because the filter would not fit with the coolant reservoir.


THANKS AGAIN GIL!

I got the same shift **** in my Daily Driver ('08 Fiji 4dr Civic Si) and I love it! It feels perfectly weighted and compares nicely with my ARC Titanium ****.
But it gets hella HOT on sunny days... Makes you shift faster! JEJE
Gil gave me an awesome price and shipping was super quick. He even sent a small banner type sticker. Circuit Hero FTW!
