Shift knob breaking when installing

So is it just me or the new Porsche shift knobs are made of cheap plastic?

I have broken two while installing them. They are about $100 each so I don’t want to do this too often. I’m tempted to go to a wooden one now as I feel it is futile to dump money buying another!

Anybody else has this issue with new ones? Maybe I should look for an old one on eBay!

First I e broke inside (as if the crush ring pushed the plastic stop in and it cracked. Second one cracked around the ring when the crush sleeve goes in. There is a metal ring and the plastic around that cracked.

It’s a 930 4-speed knob with crush sleeve.
