Looks interesting, and the fit common to the shift boot seems better than most — what’s the Delrin in the title referencing?

Looks nice, but will you be able to touch it after it sits in the afternoon sun for a while?

The size there is probably pretty good. I tried a normal sized vertical one from another vendor and it just didn't sit right in my hand. In my case I went back to round shift *****. A delrin one from Twisted Shifterz in my daily and MGW gripper in my Z06.

I have found delrin to be very temperature happy in warm months. The metal ring on top of the MGW, on the other hand, has been known to leave tattoos burned into my palm.

Just from looking at the pic it seems the shift **** is rather large, but pics can be deceiving. If it fits nicely in your hands, that is the main thing. Good looking shift **** in any case.

If anyone is trying to grab it as though it is a vertical cylinder then this is the right size for ease of grip snd manipulation. (Giggity) From the cheap one I tried out of curiosity, and the angle at which we sit, the hand does not easily address the stick. I quickly ditched mine for the usual ball and was very happy.

Delrin is a trademarked non metallic material
Lots of solid bushings are made from it.

If you want a actual Delrin shift **** LG motorsports makes one
