Not this, it is a special high-temp coating that is supposed to be good up to 1000°F once cured. It is offered by
Eastwood and is pricey at $20.99 for an 8oz bottle. It isn't as good as a ceramic coating, but far cheaper and easier for me to do.
OK, the shifter mod is done (minus testing). Due to the map cubby trim being real close, I may have to adjust the angle back about 5°. My forefinger gets pinched when I shift to 1st with my hand on the end. Shifting 1st with my hand gripping the TRD shift knob like a baseball bast solves the problem. Can alos be fixed by going with a ball shifter.
The idea came to me over a year ago. Remembering the old Hurst side shifters on old muscle cars, I thought that a smiliar geometry might help with shifting ergonomics. It has been low on my priority list. With my upcoming tranny buildout, it needed to get done. I will post this as a how-to article once it is tested OK.
