My dad just bought a 2005 Honda Accord 6speed coupe... it has an aluminum shifter.... MAN THAT GETS HOT!!
when we test drove the car for the first time, it was 105 outside, so it had been sitting all day in that heat... we couldn't shift with bare hands... we had to use my hat... HOT!!!

I like the Hurst myself. I tried to get one but could find one with the right threads. I want to get one and polish it I like the look of polished aluminum.

I've got the old style Hurst handle in my toolbox from days gone by...
I used to make Piston style handles like what was in the movie American Graffiti (John Milners Car, yellow 32 coupe). I still love a piston handle... not good for holding or shifting but awesome cool looks IMHO.
My Vette still has the orig. manual ****... so far... I actually thought about adapting that old Hurst handle to my shifter but it would be WAY too cumbersome in a manual.. WAY to cumbersome...
