The Hurst aluminum T handle is to cool / cold. Like holding onto a block of ice. Gonna hafta re-think that one. I did some quick searching but didn't find anything.

No one makes a nice leather one or other that isn't so fridged?

Thats a cool anti theft device. Took me a while to figure out how to use the shifter. Still forget sometimes when to pull up or push down, or both.

With out the handle it would be a real PITA, its not fool proof. If someone really wants you car they will get it. But most will move on if its not easy as cake.

Hafta make some sort of a key chain adapter so I never forget it and get all pissed.

I did how ever find a retor plastic one on Ebay but its still in the old package and up to about 50 by now I bet.

Also did find B&M has a plastic one for like $10 on Ebay but that just seems wrong.

I think for the price of the original one I could find a soft leather one???

Does look cool like that 70s bananna seat plastic.

It's only fridged if you keep it in the fridge.

It might be frigid if it's too cold to touch.

If it bothers ya that much... just slip a sweatsock on it. Then toss in glove box when ya get out. Easy fix until you think of something else... or summer rolls back around.:screwup:
