Default Looking for a shift **** for my 5 speed

Just what the title says. I'm looking for a leather shift **** for my 2000 GT and was wonder if anyone had any suggestions. Also what did the factory **** look likeon my car? I never had one and I'm not sure if what I'm looking at online is the one or not. I was thinking of an 05+ **** but don't know how it would look in my car. Anyway if anyone has any shift **** ideas/pics or any input I would appreciate it.

hurst black ball



That is the best **** out there. So perfect for hitting hard 1-2 and 3-4 shifts as well as a 2-3 shift! I dont care what anyone says...its the best!

All that shift **** is is a factory **** with better leather and a metal piece on top with the shift pattern on it...

I agree 100% but the better quality leather is what does it for me. I hated the heat transfer I would get with other non rapped *****.
I feel so dirty for some reason after typing that

Quit making fun of my ride! lol just kidding man. I think I'm gonna get an MGW shifter over the winter and get another boot made like cliffy has and get the silver handle and show it off. Either that or a pro 5.0 with a hurst chrome handle.

And btw, the hurst black ball shift **** does not get hot in the dead sun and doesnt get too cold either.

I had the Mach 1 aluminum POS....would be a fire ball in the summer and a ice ball in the winter. So much I would wear one glove in the winter to shift LOL.

I went FRPP as pictured in this thread and never looked back. I also wasn't a fan of the simple smooth style ball ***** b/c if your hand is a little sweaty, your hand tends to slip on it.
