Wow, I didn't realize how much a weighted shift knob would improve the feel of the MT-82!

Best solution for a hot shift knob is to get a generic cloth sunglasses pouch off of amazon and put it on when you park. The lighter the color the better. And to top it off they're cheap!

The heat hasn’t really been an issue for me. It gets a little warm but I think the finish helps. Even though it’s black, the knob has some texture to it. It’s waaay better than my Honda that has a smooth stainless ball! That thing is a branding iron.

That's what I had. Brutal

The Bullitt knob is just about perfect to me. And I think it's about 1-lb (500g), which is reportedly the ideal weight of a shift knob. You don't need anything heavier than that for better shifting feel.

actually, Just a hair under 1/2 lb. I agree, just about perfect. I love mine!

I got a picture of the dude that sold me a weighted shifter ball. I think it'll look great, but it's a little bigger than I'm accustomed.

Anyone else's shift knob get really hot? If I don't cover it and the car's in the sun, the knob is too hot to grip properly.

That is the exact reason I only used mine for a few weeks..even throwing a towel over it while the car was parked..if the it was a 85° or more day and the window visors in it still was too darn hot..by the way mine was aluminum and brass(overkill) and I made myself in the workplace machine shop.. can put up a pic if anyone is really curious
