It got too cold for the aluminum shift knob I made a while back. I mean it, it’s not the greatest choice of material for a shift knob. So yesterday afternoon at end of work I quickly made one with a bit of wood. Scrap teak that I had at work for some reason. Could have been bigger in diameter but that’s what I had. Wood screwed onto a threaded boss in the aluminum base.

I imagine driving gloves would have been useful with that aluminum handle, at least for the last few cold days. I used to have a big aluminum Hurst “T” handle shifter in my Mustang but it was more or less a summer car so I never noticed the “giant heat sink” issue.
Happy New Year!
