Has anyone burned their hand in the summer or froze it in the winter w/ a aluminum shifter handle? Will it heat up or freeze to the point where you can't touch it to shift? Do you bring a glove (other?) should the occasion arise? Should it even be a concern?

 

Burned my hand one summer in my old car
Leather shifter always

metal never again...

 

yeah my mba alum. shift **** gets crazy hot in the summer, but then again it's south florida!!

as for cold...no such thing down here...we hit a season low today..55

 

Yes, it's a common thing with aluminum shifter *****.. mine does the same thing...

In the summer, I normally just throw one of the towels I carry in the backseat over it, and it works fine... and I don't drive my car in the winter, but in the cold it'll warm up as you drive the car and the tranny warms up...

 

just imagine if you have a full billet steering wheel and live in the sunshine state....I keep a spare t-shirt in the car for that reason....

 

mines alum, and black it gets pretty hot in the summer, but its all good

 

i have a mba one, billet, its really cold in the winder, but you gotta deal with it, anyways, who cares it looks good
