For years I had a Whalen shift machine and it was one of my favorite mods on the car. The quality and the feel were astounding. When I switched to the sequential shifter I could no longer use it and have this delrin unit in its place.

OK so I was looking at all the shift ***** and they're kinda cool. I loved the Whalen with the color inlay. But I can't really justify spending that kind of money....so I saw some MOMO shift ***** that I really like for about half the price. What do you guys know about those? What do I need to look for to make sure it fits my Mini?

MOMO wheels, MOMO steering wheels, MOMO shift ***** and all are very high quality Italian parts and components for cars. The company has been around a very long time and is common on race vehicles as well as street cars. I'm going back 30 years when I desparately wanted a momo parts for an 80's VW Jetta that I owned. Really cannot go wrong.

While MOMO may have some quality items out there they also seem to have A LOT of junk. Most of the stuff you can find at AutoZone or other places like such are terrible. I have seen very few nice MOMO items.

I have to agree that Momo's quality has lessened over the years. Hence the $40 shift ****.

Heres the link, I spent months looking for a **** like this. Mine is a 2 1/4 ivory with the 6RUL pattern. You need a threaded shifter though, I have the Craven slider shift lever, which was easily polished to a chrome like finish, and the Craven well cover. If I had to do it all over, I would get a non sliding shifter, the car has so much thrust that it likes to walk out if I'm holding the ****.

Check out the whole site they have some crazy, and hard to find designs.

It starts out as a 2 1/4 inch round ball. Then its machiened down to get the brass threaded insert that makes it into a ****. I did notice that now you can have the engraved shift pattern filled with quite a few different colors.

Ordered. I went with a smaller ball. I kept it classy with black lettering. How long did it take for you to receive your ****?

Hopefully it'll be quick. I went with a 2 inch ball. I have two ***** right now and both measure 2 inch and it fits just right in my tiny hand.

Just installed a Product Innovations delrin shift ****. It's the 4" Hybrid design. I have a B&M shifter (Fidanza brand, on eBay) installed and this **** brings the height back up to near stock (which I wanted). It's threaded M12x1.25 to match the short shifter. $51.76 shipped.

The **** feels wonderful - very natural. WAY better than the stock ****. The delrin is bead blasted which gives it a great texture, almost feels like an ultra fine velvet.
