What happened to the pockets on the back of the seats?

This shift lever is really slippery. Has anyone found a better replacement?

I don't find the shift lever on the Manual to be slippery at all. The TOP of it is slick plastic, but the sides are hard rubber and even if I have slightly wet hands, it's still good-to-go.

I see no issues with the shifter. Maybe you are in a warmer climate and have suntan lotion on your hands or something.

I'm in Massachusetts. It was about 45 degrees today. I agree that the rubber is stickier than the plastic top, but it's still pretty dang slippery. Maybe it will wear in a bit.

No problems here. :drive: It has been in the upper 20s/lower 30s the past couple of days during the morning commute, and upper 40s/lower50s in the evening commute.

I'm kinda bummed about no pockets on the back of the seats too. Those really come in handy sometimes.

I think my friends '96 has pockets. I could be wrong though.

I really wanted to stick one of those big huge atlases in there. I get lost a lot.

My shifter is plastic on top, and leather all around. Where are you guys getting rubber from? Are you referring to a non-IUP shifter?

I haven't had any problems with a slippery shifter, although it doen't get as cold here in So. Cal.
