Cool On and off.....

On any car, the **** will get sloppy and loose if you take it off a lot. The threads are only plastic and wear out.

Mine is epoxied on.

Now you have an excuse to get yourself a Voodoo **** and an AFE short shifter.

do most people here on RX8club leave the stock **** or are you swapping out to an aftermarket one?

on many of my past cars, I have changed out the ****...but the RX8 **** is cool b/c it has the rotor shape.... although it may not be the ideal shape to fit your hand..

i don't have an 8 yet, still shopping for what car to buy and the 8 is at the top of my list....i've driven one and i liked the shfiter...but after you all have lived with the car for some time, do you find the shifter has an awkward feel and change it out?

Anytime you use something all the time you get used to it. Never really considered the feel of it, never really noticed it seeming akward or anything.

Some people change out the ****. Mine was starting to bother my hand so I changed for something smooth.

The reason I changed to the AFE short shifter was because of Agent008. He let me try his and after that I couldn't stand using the OEM unit and had to change it.
