Yup, it worked just fine...and I dunno about kenchan's burly manliness, but I was able to remove the sucker by hand in short fashion!

Ok, first initial impressions:

The TI knob is a bit thinner than I might like. I find that I am a palm shifter mote often than not. We'll have to see how it goes after a few days. Did you all have any initial misgivings about the slenderness of the shifter?

Also, MAN THIS BUGGER GETS HOT!
I went inside to get a bit of lunch today and came out an hour later to a truly searing experience! It's ok, I was expecting it...just not so soon!

It might just be my karate background. You know, all Asians know kongfu and karate and jujitsu and taekwon dont. They're all the same.

As for the slim design it felt alittle different at first but I got use to it and like it.
yah metal knobs can get hot. Its funny how my metal twm knob on my G doesn't get nearly as hot in the sun. It might be due to its matte finish...

Happy.... yeah if you're a palm shifter, might take some getting used to. As for me, that's what I wanted, since I can grip it like a joystick. I couldn't do that with the big burly stock knob. I love my Ti shifter....

As for the heat during summer... VERY easy fix bro.... I always have a quality microfiber towel or two in the car for interior dusting, and for bird crap. So, after parking, I just cover the knob with the towel. Voila.

I also use it to cover my detector so no one can see it in the car....
