[B3NNL]

Definitely up for both of these please.

[ninetynine]

Put me down for a nob

[ILoveMondeo]

I'll have one of each too please.

[FER4L]

Pick up my 4.3 next week so don't know yet but could well be of interest and I'd be grateful to be kept informed

Thanks

Matt

Totally forgot about this thread.

I implemented this on my Sag for the gear-lever

[matt-man]

Thread resurrection!!

I am getting quite bored of burning my hand in traffic...! Have to change gear with a cloth on the gear knob!!

If this gets done again, yea please!

[Byker28i]

I took the cats out on my Cerbera which significantly reduced the heat soak and cabin temp.
If the gearstick was getting to hot to hold, I wasn't sure what it was doing to the clutch and fluid.

The gear stick/knob is never an issue for me, even with the 4.3. It is the alloy handbrake handle that gets really hot.

I bought a Titanium lever from Powers I think because I'd buggered up the thread on the original but didn't end up fitting it as the original was araldited in and we risked damaging the selector. If anyone wants to buy it half price off me they're welcome but be aware there seem to be two different attachment layouts as Matt-Man wanted it but his Tuscan was different. There is only one version to buy so not sure if later T5's were changed. It looks like this:



Note it comes without the knob locking collar as I had to use that but using the original Alu one won't detract from the lower heat transmission. On my Tuscan (2004) the lever doesn't get too hot to handle, unlike the handbrake.

FFS, I ordered one of these only yesterday! Dammit!

[FarmyardPants]

Send it back!

[MethylatedSpirit]

Plastic gearknob

Won't conduct any heat. At all.

I would have done but the garage that attempted the job managed to re-thread the Alu lever but used the Ti collar off the new one as the old knob had been mutilated to even get that off. Don't know whether Araldite was a factory "solution".....

[Pootus]

A gear knob for me please!

I'll take it if that is ok? I've tried to email but don't think it has worked..

I'll have to get it back off Matt and we're away on holiday end of this week so it could take a few weeks if that's all right with you. You can direct mail me at rob.mayo(AT)ymail.com
