Yeah, sorry, the knob sock just doesn't do it for me.

During the summer, it can get very hot. During the winter I usually wear gloves. However, it's never been enough of a problem for me to consider a new shift knob.

I keep 2 shift knobs in the car: a Voodoo and a Spoon Titanium. I use the Voodoo when I feel like driving the car hard and keep the Spoon knob on when it is super hot or cold out - in both of these conditions the Spoon knob either cools or heats to the touch.

I just so happen to have a brand new Spoon Ti Version 2 knob not being used that I could sell you.

This is what it looks like:



and to give you an idea of how hollow it is (for heat and cold dispensing):



You can change shift knobs out at any red light - if you don't use that huge OEM thingy. A Voodoo knob can be found for around $40 on Rick's site. I'm not sure what the Spoon Knobs go for - I originally purchased mine almost a year ago.

Both of these are counter-sunk, so you will feel a difference in throws as compared to that long (as to where it sits) stock knob.

If it gets cold just wear a good pair of leather gloves and turn up the heat.

I have the OEM Ti knob, and I really like it. Folks with the Voodoo -- countersunk to be lower than stock -- love those (as the other posters should make obvious).

I keep my stock knob ('02 leather-wrapped) on my office computer table. Keeps my mind on the road (where it belongs )!

That's what I'm running except with a anodized clear knob with 6 speed lazer etched. It looks awesome and feels great- it's the perfect size. I use the knob sock whenever it's cold out or hot out until the knob stabilizes temperature.
