You'll love the RP shifter.

You can get a VooDoo ****. They fit for sure.
You should avoid the ones that attach with a set screw.

voodoo ***** work well, I use the piano black one, but they usually amplify the transmission noise, and so you'll hear whirrring noises more than usual. If you're super **** about hearing noises from your car, I wouldn't recommend it. Otherwise, the voodoo ***** are great.

^Yeah i agree with DarkBrew, i have the Pearl voodoo shift **** and i love it, the feel is sooo much nicer then the stock ****. only bad thing is it gets really cold in cold weather, and flaming hot when it's hot out. so have a driving glove handy.

Just wondering why people arfe wearing out the shift ****.

if both hands are on the wheel there really is very little time with your hand on the shifter.

One of my pet peaves with new performance driving students. They insist on holding onto the steering wheel with one hand and shifter with the other.

I guess they like a **** in their hand...

I got rid of mine because the top metal cap broke free and started buzzing at certain RPM ranges.

The Voodoo feels much better

Joe,

I bought a custom Voodoo **** from a user here on the club. Didn't wear my original **** out, just wanted a different look. Also, since I've made the change, I've noticed just how "uncomfortable" the original **** was. The smooth ball style of the Voodoo feels nice, is easy to grip and doesn't dig into my hand like the stock shifter did.

I drive with both hands on the wheel, but still managed to wear the aluminum paint off the stock ****. High pH balance skin maybe. It wasn't that bad, but I was looking for an excuse to get rid of that awkward feeling rotary shaped **** anyway.

Im glad to hear that I am not the only one that felt like the rotary feel to the OEM shift **** was a bit unnatural in the palm.

Personally I dont want a round **** so that leaves options very hard...

Im considering either the veilside or Greddy ****

but Im also conteplating this ebay ****...not expensive at all but looks small and very nice.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWA:IT&ih=023

what do you guys think? Do any of you have it?
