Clearly, a heated shift knob is in order for you sissys... All joking aside, it is a bit annoying but I really don't notice after about 5 minutes of driving hot or cold.

I would also be interested in a factory style leather piece. No aftermarket manufacture choices yet?

I think Mitsubishi should look into the climate controlled shift knob machine, just something else to make our Evo's heavier.

There was a guy who used to sell these, and he called his business ShiftyX. Their shifter covers had button eyes and a sewn on smile.
