I want to get a billet aluminum pistol grip shifter but heard they heat up inside a race car
Do they get hot enough to burn your hand?
Do I need a glove too?
just want to make sure before I pull the trigger and buy one


thanks

I have a B&M T handle in mine and never burned my hand on it. I do wear gloves while racing but not while I'm driving around the pits.

I had the Hurst Pistol grip with the Button on top in my Dakota..I never noticed anything getting hot. I was running a blanket as well. I guess it would get hot if the floor boards get hot..This was pretty much a race only deal...Very nice shifter, positive shifting, and no chance of gear missing...

I can't think of any thing that would heat up a shifter handle whether being horizontal or vertical . Is this a joke?


it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead
