Is the black part on the handle metal or plastic? I like the looks of the Ford shifter but the metal ones are too cold to the touch for me so I still prefer the Eagle shifter.
priya, the black part of the t-handle is plastic with metal end caps, also the push button is also black plastic. Which is why I choose this one over the chrome ones. The plastic is a good insulator and doesn't transfer heat, so it doesn't get cold in the winter, or burn your hand in the summer. Even the button won't get hot in the summer like the stock ones would on a blistering hot day. Feels just like the original when shifting, and looks more spiffy with the chrome.
I found this was actually cheaper than getting a stock NOS one from the Jeep dealer. They want $500 for the whole assembly, that is if they still have them, cause last time I checked was over 10 years ago. I changed mine to this because my old one's cable broke, and I was just bumping through the gears for a year, or two, which is pretty unsafe. So I decided to upgrade to this.
BTW, this whole set-up ran me around $135, which isn't too bad for having everything brand new. Try getting a Hurst shifter for that price.
