When i had a problem with my gear box, i pulled the gear knob off lol
over the weekend i pulled it right off thinking i could refit it, but i cant. Im using a dumpy screwdriver at the moment lol

Where can i get a replacement one, maybe a aftermaktet one.

Thanx for reading
All the best Mark

Hi MARK

I did the same things years ago lol...oops whats this in my hand lol...

I fitted a Momo as in this picture.... much better than the original, they do them in ally (silver like mine) and black.

Hi Mark,

Seem to recall from Tilford tht yours was an aftermarket handle?

If I'm wrong and it was standard then it can only pull off if the locating holes at base are cracked. With the rubber bellow pulled down the handle fixes to selector lever with a machine screw at each side (M4 or M6 and only a few mm long).

Handles come up on eBay occasionally. I got hold of new one that way but sold old one same way.

Or ask Simon Watson via 928uk list if he has one - he is breaking a couple of 928s.

Cheers

Adrian

That link doesn't work for me Mark? Please can you repost, or just say what the item number is and will find it

Ardain,
Sorry mate it's 250902550395. (eBay number)

I can't see anything to say that it would fit 928, unless there's a standard fit for these things or I've missed something!

Thanx Adrain!!! ive asked the seller, but no reply

Hi Mark

That is the black version of mine....

It comes with a "fitting kit" which is basically a plastic collar thing and a couple of grub screws, but I would ask if its been fitted to a 928 first before you bid...

This link is to one that DOES fit a 928... >>> http://www.928gt.com/ps-1997-26-auto-sh ... -momo.aspx

I had the same problem with my gear knob, both the screw mountings had broken.

They do appear on ebay but as usual nothing came up when I wanted one, and I ended up buying from my local Porsche dealer.

If you buy second hand you have to be sure it's not cracked at the mountings, as this is common.

I seem to recall it cost an extortionate £150 from Porsche, and was only available in black.....but I was well off in those days.

Brett,
The gear knob arrieved today and fits Did you cut some of you gear shaft off to allow the knob to drop lower?

It does work and looks amazing

All the very best Mark

Hi MARK

Yes i remember cutting something off lol...

And I would never go back to a normal 928 one.

All the best Brett

Brett, thank you i will cut some off of mine too, it will get rid of the gap between the rubber gator and the bottom of the gear knob

All the very best Mark
