DIY: insulated shift knob

tired of burning ur hands or freezing ur hands...well with this simple diy it will be over...

best of all its free....

mods pls move to DIY for some reason it seems no one has access to post in the DIY section....and side note for 2fast...dont delete this one again

all ull need is a sock...i used a sock from my boy scout days...its a venture crew wool hiking sock...

materials


lets start...




step 1: start to turn sock inside out but stop halfway


step 2: repeat step one


step 3: place sock over shifter


step 4:make sure to seat the sock all the way down...then ur done

Pay $1, get a pair of cheap baby socks. That way you arent grabbing a gross warm used sock.
