I like them both cos there stylish looking and different from all the other Porsche gear knobs. 924 Turbo and 911sc.

Excellent. That is almost exactly what I had in mind for mine. Is that a MOMO knob. Looks like one of theirs. Where did you get your boot?

do a search and find the many previous threads on this

One thing that is not emphasized too often in the threads is that metal knobs feel hot in summer and cold in winter - when you hit the pic of my 4 favs, you'll see there is not much metal involved.

I like it b'cause it looks cool, and is cool to the touch.
I don't like it cause my hand sometimes slips its smooth surface when trying to shift quickly.

I really like the MoMo Competition knob, but its design looks like its better suited to G50 trannys than the 915. In the mean time I'm sticking (pun intended) to the stock knob.

look at my link below to see a pic of my Momo-like Autozone knob.
$15. Nice weight and feel for next to nothing.

Hey, I've got one of those, what a great idea (if it fits without too much hassle). They are made by a company called Zimmer, and are a proprietary all called (obviously) Zimaloy.

If you want one, they sometimes come up on eBay for around $50.

$50 is not too bad. But if it had the Porsche logo on it then it would cost about $200.00

Before and after. I made a little guage pod for the blower controlls and a voltmeter where the cig tray was and eliminated the lameo console

Crappy picture but you get the idea.

Sparco shift knob.

I have the MoMo Competition installed on a factory short shift kit on a 915 transmission. I really like the feel, very solid and comfortable and feels confident in your hand. I really like the look as well.
