Well I was always lukewarm about the feel and aesthetics of the factory auto stick **** that came on my car. So today my Momo Tube shift **** arrived in the mail. The model I chose is chrome with black leather inserts, they also come in different leather colors and a brushed finish.

I popped off the existing **** (without bashing the **** into my forehead, thanks to an earlier how-to posting)

The new **** sat about an inch too high. I thought about slicing the shaft shorter, but then the old **** could never go back on. I solved the problem by drilling out the Momo from the bottom with a 11/32 drill and making the hole about an inch deeper. Now it fits nice and low, a bit lower than the OEM ****. Waddyathink?

 

Not too bad spotsbimmer.... but I like a litte wood on my ****.....
How do you like the difference in feel? I must feel waaaaay odd...

 

Looks good. I may have to try that with mine.

 

I was unaware that Viagra is now making automotive accessories.........
That's a nice matching of the burl-wood between your shifter and console.

As for the feel of the Momo, I much prefer it over the amorphous shape and feel of the OEM ****.

 

spotsbimmer, sorry that was just a pic of the shift **** I bought, not my console. Look again....that is mine...

 

Very nice spotsbimmer. I like.......

 

Nice look Bimmer. I share your ambivalence about the factory ****.

 

Looks good - I like the lower fit. Very nice!

 

Yes I like the lower fit I need to lower mine also . Both of those Bimmer and MikeR Look really nice
I was trying to match the silver and managed to get it right I think !
Now I just need to lower it ...

 

Can you drill the hole deeper like spotsbimmer did? It matches up pretty nicely..

 

Yes,,,, I just got in a hurry today at lunch and stuck it on ( to see what it was going to look like ) Tonight when I get home i'll drop it on down where it should be ,,,the paint on this **** is a dead match with the silver on the console ......

 

Really nice shift *****. The leather and silver looks cool. How hard is it to remove the original? Where can I buy a shift **** like these and is there a certain size to buy?

 

You non-stick drivers are killing me with concerns about how it feels when shifting, Come on really how much do you use it just to go into drive and the occasional reverse! Come on really how important can it be! LOL!

Just razzing you guys but I own a stick and I am looking for a nice shifter so I will keep an eye on the posts here.

THnx

 

Interesting developments in this thread. I have one like this and contact Momo about drilling it deeper before I installed it. They didn't recommend it. I guess the guy I talked to didn't know their product very well.

 

Everyone knows how important it is for your **** to feel good...right?

 

You just unscrew the bottom collar and pull straight up, just just don't let it bash into your coconut! If it's really tight lay a big bath towel over the top before yanking.

I got my Momo shift **** on Ebay.

 

Spots... now that just sounds realy wrong man....

 

Holy crap! I really didn't see it the way you did. How embarrassing........

 

I think it depends on the ****. Mine fit low right out of the box.

 

LMAO TOO FUNNY
