T-Handles Comfortable?

[VividDreams]

I was just wondering if some of you could tell me about your experiences with T-Handle shift knobs as opposed to ball style knobs. im considering getting one but im not 100% sure ill like it.


thanks

I got the triple chrome T handle from MGW, its very comfortable, and I have more leverage in my shifts... I have big hands so the ball was kind of akward to use

I purchased the MRT- T shifter handle from here on Partshopper. I love it and I get complements about it all the time.

I have the Hurst T-handle which has ergonomics shaped like your hand is when grasping it, not just a consistant tube shape. When adjusted properly it will help you hit the gears better when pulling and pushing to shift. Oh yea, it's comfortable too!

I got one also. Very nice feeling

guess i'll have the dissenting opinion...I hated my hurst T-handle...made it very akward, esp. at the track. Went back to a hurst ball and wont ever use a T-handle again!

I second that. I had a t-handle on a '90 5.0 with a Hurst. Very awkward to row the gears in my opinion.

I use to run a T-handle on my Tri-Ax. I liked it, My wife however hated it so it was back to the ball, she likes holding my balls

She likes holding my balls too

I have heard that too and if it's not adjusted properly (not saying it wasn't for you) or it is in a car that the shifter is sitting too far to the right it will be a problem. If the shifter sits closer to your body or should I say leg, then the Hurst T-handle will work great.

I had a big Impala with one on it and the shifter was so far to the right I could adjust it for the 2-3 shift but when it was just right for that shift I could not hit the 3-4 shift, so on that car I used the ball knob. Now I had a drag car that I put the Hurst Super Shifter in it and it was right up against my leg due to the straight shift rods used with that style and the T-handle worked perfect on it. In my Mustang using the Pro-5.0 with the 5380015 Hurst shift stick, cut 2" shorter, the T-handle works great.

I guess what I am saying is it all really depends on what shifter/stick set-up you have and how you sit in relation to the shifter.

Wouldn't it be more correct to say she "...likes holding your ball."
singular.
