Gearknobs to suit MK4 manual

[anth]

hey all,

I'm looking for a plain metal ball type gearknob to suit my MK4, but all I can find when I search is OEM style stuff, like R knobs and such.

This is what I'm looking for...


Any ideas where to get something like that?

Possibly custom made??

I found this one that someone posted on the 'tex http://www.dojoperformance.com/comer...cts.asp?cat=10 it's the Sansho Shift Knob
Part # 53300 you'll have to scroll down.

I guess all the aftermarket ones will just be generic and somehow attach to the shaft. I was hoping there'd be one that would screw on to the thread directly for a nice fit. Would a generic one stuff up the reverse "push" mechanism?

TMTuning has a good selection of gear knobs and boots.

Beat me to it.

Be aware that for my last order from them, I copped an "international order fee" which made things quite a bit more expensive than they first appeared...

cheers for the link guys still not what I'm looking for unfortunately. Those TT circular shift surrounds look awesome though.

Would something like that come with a new shift kit? I'm sure I've seen something like that where they include a new knob with the kit.

A couple of Forge Motorsport ones there that may suit. Let me know if you're interested, may be able to get you into the next group ship!

Seb has a R-Line gear knob i think! very nice! (gaitor and all)

I think I'll just have to go for something generic as I really want that plain aluminium ball look, found a few on ebay, I'll have to measure the stock shaft first though. I'll be sure to update if I find/fit anything.

I do like the R-Line ones myself...

I dont know if you've had a look under the shift boot yet, but if the Mk4's dont have a thread as such, they use a clamp on style. Im assuming the shaft in my old bora would be the same as in yours. When I changed the knob I couldnt get the clamp that came with the new knob to hold it tight enough, so I used a high strength hose clamp instead - worked a treat!
