I used to track my Audi S4 a few times a year and the instructors always keyed in on you NOT resting a hand on the shift lever. It was far more about the benefit of having two hands on the wheel than any potential damage to gears.So this brings up a question... I have done it for years with no issues, but I drive with my elbow on the console arm rest, and my hand resting on the shifter never a problem... but get tons of nagging that I'll wear out the gears, etc. (Have had TJ since new and have over 130k on it...) Now, a lot of these shift knobs weigh more that what I'm resting on the shifter than with my hand, plus these bounce around, etc...
Is the potential damage just a myth then?
And to stay on topic... I just have the stock shift knobs...
My Dad would often tell me about my grandpa who would punch him for doing that.
My Grandpa would just punch me…..end of story. LolMy Grandpa would punch my arm when I was learning...
Yeah that’s right up there with “keep making that face and it will stay that way.”So this brings up a question...

It kinda looks like a flowerJust fine lol. It’s comfortable. It really is. It’s been on there for 6 years now. But it sucks when the top is off. It gets super hot.

My Dad taught me to not rest my foot on the clutch pedal between shifts.
And still today I cringe when I ride with drivers that do that or use their left foot for braking during street use.
But it's their shit and they can do it if they want.
Off highway in the rocks using both feet is always a good practice.
And I got a B&M Tee on a B&M short throw.
yeh, that was was going back 20 years ago. I still may have one or two cans that I kept as a collectibleHavant seen Red back for a long time! I think the brewery closed?
If you want a real aussie beer then it has to be Swan or Emu both very old and both very underrated because they are from west australia, sort of the PBR,s of Perth
