Gearshift Knobs


Sounds kinda a strange question but what gear shift knobs do you have on your bug?

While driving rosie on the weekend my wife commented on how i had a timber style steering wheel and a black gear shift knob lol.

So I guess I should go to Supercheap and get a matching gear knob.

So I guess here it goes, show us your knob lol and where did you get it from?

[size=5]

I have a type 3 gear knob... dark grey color..

they came in one or two colors
they are made from two pieces..
top piece and the lower knob...

I always liked them..

type 3s also had a cover over the hand brake...

You could probably buy a wooden knob with a VW emblem on it...??

What's wrong with the stock VW one? They are $4 brand new from Wolfsburg west for example.

I know this is in the wrong section for a kombi but here is the shift knob in my single cab.
Oh and I got it from a 1600tp :)

Guess I should show my new one.
My Carbonfibre one had been in for more than 5 mins so was due for a change...... actually I shouldn't be sarcastic, it's been over 10 years now.

I wanted a nice round symetrical one seeing as my gearstick likes to do the twist while I'm driving.

Weighing half a metric crapload of spun alumnium goodness :dork:

Excuse the dirty carpet..... gotta love red soil macadamia country :rolleyes:
