if your car is baking under the sun then yes it will get hot, but it will cool down once you have your grip on it and the AC is on..I also think that since its a little smaller in diameter from that of the stock ****, it sits just a tad bit shorter..

Does the shifter feel super hot during hot/sunny days?

It gets kinda hot, but it cools off very fast. Heres a pic of the old compared to the new, and height difference.
I messed the stocker up by taking a monkey wrench to it.. lmao.

sorry guys! just got home. here's the tool's i used to remove my shift ****

1 inch radiator hose
vise grip
belt oil filter remover
second person

ok, first put your hand onto the shift boot and then pull up towards you. then you'll see a zip tie that's tied to the shifter. cut it! i think there's a foam or cotton in there also, just work your way around it. grab a razor knife and cut the hose for a opening so you could wrap it around the shifter.(beneath the shift boot) then grab the vise grip and clamp onto the radiator hose as hard as possible. then use the BELT oil filter clamp to do the turning on the ****.

the belt clamp has no teeth and doesn't slip. just watch out for the metal handle while clamping. it worked for me so it should work for everyone else. give it a try. highly recommend another person helping out. hope this helps!
