    not really anymore than a stock knob...just put some blinker fluid on the bushing and it'll be fine


    naw, really...mix a little liquid graphite (for locks) and lithium grease...it'll create a crazy slick lubricate for bushings

    freakin popsicle in the winter and the wrong end of a soldering iron in the summer...but that's what crown royal bags are for. Suprisingly it does warm up pretty quick when cold though

    they screw on. I just got mine a few days ago. I like it? seriously should I lubricate my bushings? i dont want to screw anything up. it seems like my shifts are more solid w/ this knob compared to the DC sports one.
