The whole handle or just the knob? I have a MGW handle on my Tri-ax with a Cobra leather knob.

I have the CDC t-handle. I love the way my steeda tri-ax shifts now. Used to have the mach1 shifter and my hand kept slipping off.

I have...
Pro 5.0 shifter (quiet & smooth)
Pro 5.0 medium handle (very similar to Triax handle but stronger)
Cobra "5-speed" knob (ahh...cool leather)

I used to have....
Triax shifter (ahhh....too loud!)
Triax handle
Bullitt knob (ouch....too hot!)

i have an MRT 2" ball (also available in 2.5"). its just black with the classic 5-speed shift pattern in white, and it has a red MRT logo as well. just adds a little old-school feel to a modern car. to me it seems like so many of the knobs out there are way too flashy, like the manufacturer was trying too hard. i mean c'mon, its just a shift knob. some things were meant to be kept simple. just my .02.

Have
UPR pistol grip
stock 04 gt knob
T-handle
Billiard ball
some lil bitty shifter ball

what I use the most is the stock one though.
The UPR is nice but if I don't grip it tight it feels odd in the hand.
The T-handle, is ok but when I'm hammering corners and doing alot of shifting it just doesn't feel right.
The billiard ball looks good IMO but is a lil big for spirited driving and gets slick easy.
the small ball, makes my hand cramp up.


all on my mgw shifter, I switch between the red handle and blue handle often too.
Yes I'm a bit of shifter knob junkie.

MGW shifter with Black Hurst Ball. I was thinking classic white Hurst ball but didnt think it would go with black/dark grey interior. I like it!!

I got the Steeda Insulated Knob. It doesn't heat up like their original knobs did.

And as fas as reach, i got the Steeda Comfort Pro handle. It really brings the shifter closer to you. When you're in 5th, it feels like if you were in 1st using the original TriAx shifter. That's how far over left it brings it.

I have the MGW composite knob. Doesn't get too hot or cold and I love the finger indent on the front -- good grip for those fast shifts.

I've got the MGW Mach 1 gripper shifter ball with the "Mach 1" etched on the top of the shifter ball. It's works great. Like gripping a tennis ball.

I replaced the stock rubber one, with a similar leather one (I think off of a '99 Cobra)., handle it tri-ax handle, with Pro5.0 shifter under it.
