a98pmalcolm Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 How do all. After the fitting of my short shifter I decided to get a new gear knob as the spring from the shifter was exposed. I went for a Richbrook one as my handbrake and both leather gaiters are Richbrook. The out come was a nice finish.

Josh Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Very smart. Much prefer OEM looking knobs to aftermarket (looking) ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Preferred the first one tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Is this the Japspeed short shifter? I'd recmmend against it tbh, I found that mine wasn't fully engaging gears and even popped out a couple of times, it was on the car for 2 days and even then I was worried about any damage it may have caused.

a98pmalcolm Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Marc its not a japspeed one. This one fits very well, goes into gears nicely and hasn't popped out once.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkddav3 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) looks nice but i prefer the first one tbh kinda biased though as ive got an original veilside which is very similar lol Edited May 22, 2012 by tkddav3 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
