Gear Knob Insert

[MartinRS2K]

Does anyone know if the gear knob insert on a 944 is interchangeable (the one that shows the gear change pattern)? I've asked Porsche who say it is only available as a complete unit with the gear knob!!

My Silver Rose has a Gold One [:'(] but I want either a Burgundy one to match the gaiter and stick or even a Black one if anyone has one or knows where to get one.

Cheers

Hi Martin,

Here you go, and a little paint should see you right if you don't want a black one------

Thanks, that's great []

All I need now is someone with a burgundy or black insert they don't need []

You could try PH Sportscars - 01332 799298

In the meantime, you could spray the gold one black and see how it turns out.....gotta be better now matter what!

Hi Martin,

That is just a generic photo, I think, I have the silver one worth a call maybe? Hope you get it sorted

The original insert is now only available as part of the whole gearstick and is 3 figures in cost, the first of those figures may even be a 2 IIRC.

Your best bet if you don't want an alloy one is to get one off a car being broken and paint it/paint the one that you already have, or paint a new alloy one. A left field choice would be an alloy one and get it anodised.

Thanks for the offer, black would be great, I presume it's aluminium but haven't removed it yet []

I will PM you when I have taken it out

Just so you are aware, the originals are smooth polished black.

Mine was black plastic which made getting it out without damaging the plastic hard. The leather gaitor sleeves you can buy from ebay are quite a tight fit and then you have to get the plug back in without the creasing the leather. You can do it but its not a quick job.
