Shifter grip
Okay...for all you six-speeders, here's a profound question for you;
Do you grab your shifter "over the top", or do you wrap your hand around the side?
If you choose to ignore this thread, I'll understand. :lol:

Re: Shifter grip (rocco16)
should have made this a poll.
All depends, but usually around the side.

Re: Shifter grip (Jbaker)
I'd say that kind of depends. If driving aggressively I'd say over the top, but when casually cruising, by the side..

Re: Shifter grip (rocco16)
Depends on the gear :D
Going to 1st, 3rd, 5th, I push with my palm.
2nd and 6th around the side. 4th over the top.
Wierd, I know :D but it lets me shift hard without worrying about my fingers slipping.
