Here's a youtube video with a quick glance of the **** missing. Pretty far away and shaky so not sure that it helps much.

lol, looks great.

I've been thinking about buying the stock boss 302 ****. How does it feel in comparison to the GP one? The 401A **** I have just is hell in the summer, I figure resin will leave more skin on my palm on a hot day.

that is exactly why i repalced the 401a ball on my 10. i had the grabber pony one, never gets hot or cold. 401a cars need the small adapter, all other cars need the alrger one. tyeh **** is seperate frm teh adapter and these are top quality. i loved mine, had him do it grabber blue. i want to get a comp orange on for my boss with the c-stripe on the side.

Pffffttt... I had an aluminum Bullitt shift **** in my 02 GT.... yeah never had to worry about memorizing the shift pattern in that car 'cause I could just hold my palm up to the mirror anytime I forgot!

Seriously though, it was a billet **** and that rascal would get really really hot if I didn't cover it in the summer time.

Sorry to hear about you guys down South getting your palms burned by the aluminum shift ****. Up hear in the frigid North we dont have to worry about burning our hands on our shift ****. I always wondered why so many car companies wrapped their shift **** in leather. I suppose heat shielding is one reason. I still prefer aluminum shift ****.

I like the aluminum **** available with the Pony Interior. I guess if 'shifter **** burn' is an issue that's easily solved with a pair of driving gloves in the glove box?

its not just aluminum in the south, anything can do it. i had a 87 LX 5.0 back in the day and the plastic shift **** would get so hot you had to either turn the AC on and aim it at the **** for a while or wrap a wash rag around it.

Folks up north don't understand the kind of heat in the south, when it's 105-115 in august and the car is 130-140 inside after sitting out in the heat all day burn is no exaggeration. these acrylic ones don't get hot or cold thankfully. i suspect the boss **** will be fine though, it feels acrylic.

I've seen some rednecks out west who use most of the deer they shoot. This includes the ******* for a shift **** cover... Put it on when it's "wet" and it'll shrink and dry to a nice wrap.

I received my KB Boss on Friday and my custom shift **** from grabberpony happened to arrive on Saturday. The problem is that I have been unable to remove the factory shift ****. I have been turning it counterclockwise, but the thing will not budge. I have even resorted to using clamps and other tools. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem, or if it is possible that they have started gluing the ***** on. Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem, so I got one of my weight lifting friends to give it a try and Bingo it came off, there was blue lock tight on it.

Good luck!
