I need to know so I can hunt them down.

So that's what that walnut thing I made into a slingshot was.

Not an exact match, but pretty close.

No sane human being. There is no better way to shift.

K weighted knobs come close, but pistol grips just feel fantastic.

That's ChryCo's pistol grip right? I guess if it fits your hand right, it could be very comfortable.

Me it looks like some kind of turd.

I feel like grabbing from the top > grabbing from the side.

The idea is that most people would carve their own and fit it to the default handle.

I do, it's for the wrong hand for starters.

Do you shift with your left hand? Or are you in a RHD car?

beardsbynelly - Rikerbeard > GhostZ

yes to both.

also my palm is on top of the knob when I shift, so that knob wouldn't be comfortable for me. (if it was a sequential shifter it'd probably be really nice though)

It's a really common old-muscle sort of thing, and they're actually absurdly comfortable, and supposedly faster than a traditional knob.

I wonder if Chrysler/Hurst made any RHD versions of the shift knob for export markets...

hmm, I guess I'll have to try one before I really have an opinion, with a short throw box it probably would be more accurate than a ball.

I'm sure they would have been some made locally, but I don't think they were ever popular in the muscle car scene here. I've seen a couple for drag setups with hand clutches
