On the subject of shifter knobs you have to worry about overheating the shifter knob even on automatics. If you don't the little round piece on top that has the DMC molded on it will shrivel up. When I park it at shows and it is really hot I just put a cap over the shifter or I have seen people use a sock. Of course once you are driving it isn't the same problem as those of use with automatics don't have to keep stirring it!
