Get a small size fuzzy wristband and slide it over the knob. I used to do that in my Tercel that I had the B&M knob on. Or get a nice Sparco leather knob for your shifter like I did.

Thanks. I'll have pics up soon of my new shift boot, so I'll show the knob at the same time. I didn't pay for it, it was a take-off of a buddy's car, he spent about $40 on it I believe, from a local speed shop. Just get one for an STI or other car with reverse lockout. Its a universal mounting, but it has to be big enough to work over the sleeve.
