Chesterfield Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 I think it looks quite nice. Hope fitting goes ok! Quote
lomoto Posted March 10, 2006 Author Posted March 10, 2006 I think it looks quite nice. Hope fitting goes ok! Here a photo of it installed ,nothing to do at work today ,so got this fitted along with the other wheels with new Falken tyres on..I dont recommend fitting a different gear knob unless you have access to some good quality mole grips and a pipe spanner, its really tight to get the original item off !! Took it for a quick spin and I must say it feels really nice change. with the shorter throw,and feels better for me with the lower position of the knob...may not suit everyone but I,m pleased..it will stop on Quote
Removed Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 yup that's what I used mate.... careful about holding it tight too! Quote

Digsy Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Looks good, Tim. Problem with these aluminium knobs is that they get too hot to touch in the summer (well not today I suppose ) and bloody freezing in the winter. I'd invest in some nice driving gloves now. Quote

Yes too true , very hot when sun's been on it, not too bothered about the cold weather as she will be garaged up come the first frost Quote

Liam's Z Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Tim your's is the nicest knob i've ever seen Quote
lomoto Posted August 21, 2006 Author Posted August 21, 2006 Tim your's is the nicest knob i've ever seen I'm lost for words can I pull my trousers up now Quote
Chesterfield Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Tim - the one concern I have over the all metal gear knobs, is that in the sun they will get very hot. I have an all metal, or mostly metal one in the golf, and it gets red hot during the summer, so much so that I blast the aircon onto it for the first 10 minutes of th drive home after it being parked up at work all day. I take it from your previous post you have had this issue in the Z with this knob fitted? Quote
