looking for shift **** recommendations
I am looking for a good shift **** to replace the stock one. I don't think the stock one is all that comfortable compared to things I have had in the past. I tried searching but all i find are references to the lighted version of the stock sift ****.
Does anyone know where i can get a plain round shift **** for this car. All I can seem to find are funky shaped things that look rice to me.
thanks!

greese, do a search for voodoo shift ****, you will see some simple and comfortable shift *****.
they are direct screw-on and much lighter than the rotary shaped one.
I use one, and I only have good things to say about it, the reasonable price is just icing on the cake. Highly recommended!

That Voodoo shift **** looks about right. Although a metal **** might cook my hand in Florida. I had a similar shape on my MG but it was wood.
thanks for the responses.

I thought heavier shift ***** gave better shifting control and lots more benefits compared to light shiftknobs? If you're trying to save weight on the car, shift **** is not on the list.

i'm just looking for comfort. Someting in the shape of the voodoo ***** covered in black leather with the shift pattern embossed on it would be ideal.
maybe a voodoo shifter and a short shift kit would be the way to go.

Greddy/Trust would be my choice.

I also recommend the Voodoo. The feel is great and as soon as I put it on, I immediately felt more connected to the car. The shifts are much more precise now. The fact that it's lighter has not had any detrimental effect. The pearl look ***** match the "titanium" part of the interior nicely.
It does get warm in the summer, but cools down quickly. It's never really been an issue for me. I do keep a driving glove handy in case it's too hot, but honestly, I've never had to use it.

I took the Voodoo **** off my Miata and tried it in my RX8 and love it.
I also put a block on the clutch pedal to bring it up and overall shifting is very much improved.
