Who has the best feeling balls for the shifter? I want one that is bigger than what came with the car. I want to know that I have a ball in my hand when I shift the car. The ball right now is a little bigger than a ping pong ball.

Shelby performance parts ball is what I have. It's slightly bigger and looks stellar. Feels smooth. Glad I got it.

+1 I have the same. It is an awesome Ball!!
I want to get it froma place that is not going to take months to get. Everytime I order something from SPP, it takes forever to get it. I think I want to try and get one that is silver with the black lettering.
I ordered mine from Shelby and received it in 3 days. Standard shipping.
Google "delrin shift knob". It's metal but feels like silk literally, also for the most part doesnt get hot or cold. By far the best feeling shift knob, different companies make a ton of styles.
WoW!! We can add a bigger ball too!! I'm amazed!! Just when you thought the ball couldn't get any bigger driving this thing!! LMAO!! "The ball is just too small, I need a bigger ball in my hand!!!:thumbsup:
so you like have bigger balls in your hand to play with??? 
oke: :lol1:

I thought it was a funny question too lol :banana: :beer:
Dirty minded people here.
rather they stop using the stupid rubber bushings to make the 1-2 shift easier...matter of fact Ford should take advantage and allow people to add certain mods to the order of their performance cars :shrug:
I looked into the SPP ball and like it as well. I know I have to order the retainer with the ball but was wondering if it's a (pain in the ball) to remove the stock one?
I have been trying to order one from these guys in a custom color and they still have yet to get back to me. I have posted like 4 times in their thread. And the thing is, there are 3 other people that want the same color combo I want.
go to redawg shifter website...get a custom one there
and yes, everyone has said the stock shifter is an absolute bitch to remove
If Ford allowed customers to dictate more than 5 or 6 options on these cars, they WOULD NOT be able to sell them for under $100k. Then we would be talking about hand-built Ford GT's and Ferraris. The production line doesn't allow for customer specific customization.
Delrin is actually Polyoxymethylene plastic that is CNC machined like metal.
To remove the shifter ball, I used a piece of silicone mat used to open jar tops (for the wife) and actually started life as a key board cover. I also did not use a retainer and it looks fine. The boot just floats.
I live in California. I got my knob from Shelby in 24 hours.
im talking about small things that would be dealer installed options
5 posts before a balls joke. Well done people.
Is the '13 knob a billiard ball like the '11 and '12 or is it just plastic?
The delrin shift knobs are nice. That's what I had in my focus after my aluminum knob. It was nice being able to shift the car during the summer without wearing gloves.

What other options are there when it comes to shifter knobs? I have never been a fan of the billiard ball knob.
