There are two Phoenix-Area members of the Arizona DeLorean Club who have been using Casey's Machined Shift Knobs since the DeLorean Car Show in Memphis and neither have complained about them getting too hot even in the Arizona sun. One member is using the aluminum shifter with black rubber inserts and the other member is using the stainless steel spherical shifter, the later being a daily driver. Both have noticed that it does get hot, but at least one (the daily driver) has stated that it doesn't seem to get as hot and stay as hot as the original black shifter. (Remember, black absorbs light and plastic retains heat.) The metal shift knobs have a light-reflective surface and metal is a good conductor of both heat and cold, so the metal shifter seems to cool down very quickly, especially with the A/C vents right in front blowing cold air on it (hot air in winter). Overall, the members who are using Casey's shift knobs seem to prefer both the look, feel, and temperature resistance over that of the original black plastic shift knob.
