Your shift knob feels more solid and I have more confidence shifting with it. I love the height that it sits at because it goes as far down as possible to meet the shift boot with the stock shifter. You are correct that you need to shift your hand position when going into 5th, but that doesn't bother me at all. I really like this shift knob because it sits low, looks great, functions well and enhances the look of my black interior. I hope that you consider selling these and I think that you will sell quite a few!
Thanks again!

"Hi Dave,
Wanted to say "Thank You" for the terrific shift knob. I really appreciate the effort and determination in making me a satisfied customer. I truly am! The package arrived Monday as promised and it was installed the same day! It's exactly what I pictured.

Hi!
From Derek: (2002 Ford Mustang GT with Wine Red pistol-grip shift knob)
"Dave,
It fits like a glove on the shifter, it’s comfortable and it’s beautiful to look at it. I love it. If anyone I know even utters the word shift knob, I’ll be sure to throw them your email."
From Tom: (C5 Corvette with Cobalt Blue pistol-grip shift knob with 6-speed shift pattern)
“I
drove the car for the first time with the new knob. I was very pleased with how
it felt. Using it, as I think you described some time ago, with my little finger
curled comfortably around and underneath the collar. My thumb lay across the
top, pointing along the velocity vector, and my index finger curled
(horizontally of course) around the largest part of the bulge. My other fingers
obviously fit nicely around the midsection of the knob.
This hand position gave me more control than I have yet experienced with the
MN6; one of my biggest complaints with the C5 was thereby removed! Well done
sir!”
From Matt:
“I put mine on a Hurst short shifter and there were no issues. You have a great product that you do not see on every car; this makes it unique. I think you will get more business in the future so heat up those molds!”
"Well I've been using this
shift knob for roughly 2 months now and so far it's been great. No major
problems have emerged and, come to think of it, no minor problems have come up
either.
The fit and finish of the knob are excellent. I've never actually held a shift
knob that fits so nicely in my hand. It's very comfortable; the mold is
practically perfect.
My main concern before actually receiving the shift knob was it's integrity in
extreme cold weather, due to it being constructed of plastic. I had my doubts.
I thought for sure it would crack or become brittle in subzero temperatures
but this was definitely not the case. The plastic is only moderately cold to
the touch even after sitting in temperatures below 20 degrees Celsius for
several hours.
Overall, this shift knob is great! If I had to do it again, I'd
definitely buy another one, and as weird as it is to say, I've never actually
held a shift knob that was so comfortable to hold. You'll have to try it to
know what I'm talking about."
