ok..
now everyone says its bad to rest your hand on the shifter..
welll.. i would like to know why.

 

It wears down the bushing quicker. Not a big deal, but if you want your shifter to feel solid for a longer time then it's a bad idea to put weight on the shifter.

 

how about playing wid the shifter, like you kno win neutral, or before you put it in first, I always tend to this, well also it's because most time I have to pop it in 2nd for 1st to eat in smoothly.

 

Also I think it messes with the synchros and then leads to the shifter poping out of gear when driving.

 

interesting..
i have the bnm shifter
went to race around
and after the night was done
about 3-4 hours
my hand was numb..
and i wasnt resting..
no time to rest..
had to have hand on steering wheel then shifter wheel shifter
etc.. etcc... etc....
but what bushing..

maybe im blind
