Got mine in the mail today, it looks so good!

Slightly wider and chunkier than the leather shift ****. Can confirm that it is glass and not plastic. I usually hold the shift **** while driving, the slight size increase feels really nice!

Why would you hold the shift **** while you drive?

Just a habit of mine from driving my first car of 8 years which had a 6 speed manual transmission, making the NX my first automatic haha

I see some people have changed out the factory shifter for a different one.

Is it possible to replace the shifter with a whole different design. I mean it looks like the ones here that people have changed are basically the same exact design small and wedge like. Can a larger shift **** be installed? Or only can use small one? It seems so small for a man’s hands. I’m not talking about a huge big **** but something a little larger than the factory one.

It is a threaded pole, you can screw on it whatever you like You do not need to grab it like a man haha you just need to use two fingers to shift

For sure! I had a crystal shifter on my XC60 from the Swedish crystal company Orrefors. Beautiful and distinctive.
