Thanks Raffi - Speed-2 Shift **** received and installed . . .
<center><img src="http://images2.fotki.com/v18/photos/4/41970/208575/shift_knob_030503020-or.jpg"></center><p>A beautiful piece of art complementing my TT. Install was painless (thanks to the directions on Raffi's site) and test drive after the install was wondrous.

I took off my dead pedal and high polished it.
It never shows scratches like the matte finish and because it's in a lowly lit area, the brighter finish looks cleaner.
You have to see it.

Its not slippery when it gets wet??>>>>
I have tried to use cleaners and waxes in the past, but they are slick the first few times they get wet. What polish did you use??? do you have any pix?

No! The rubber bumps are still there. No slip.
You have to dismantle the thing and then polish it! .
Unscrew the bolt at the top of the plate. It's a torque head. The same one you use for the Strat arm rest install. When the bolt is out, don't pull straight back. Instead, press against the plate as you simultaneously push up on it. There's an L shaped plastic catch on the back side makes that move mandatory or you'll break it.
Pry the bottom metal apart to release the rubber 'nubs' Slide them out and commence polishing!
