just installed the RENNSHIFT shifter - will my stock knob fit?
 

I just installed the RENNSHIFT shifter. I thought I could re-use my stock knob but there is way too much play between the shifter and the knob. Is there a shim that I need to buy or am I outta luck?

answered my own question...looks like a "crush sleeve" will do the trick. I used a 15mm wrench and a hammer to get my stock one off as directed...it was late last night and I think i slung it somewhere in a frenzy. If I cant find my crush sleeve, do they sell generic ones or are they "porsche specific"?

thanks,

As you already discovered the stock knob with the crush sleeve will fit. Be careful though that you don't break the stock knob putting it on.

In my adjustment process, I removed and installed the stock knob several times. In the process I guess I weakened it, because it cracked while I was shifting not long after I installed it. I replaced it with the Rennshift knob that screws on (~$30 here on Pelican). I am now glad I broke it because the Rennshift knob looks really nice and is larger so it feels better in my hand. It's also easier to remove, since it screws on, if I ever have to remove it to readjust.

ok...i found my stock crush sleeve. believe it or not, it was wedged in the wrench i used to pop off the stock knob. aparently, it found its way there and I just put it in the tool box as I was watching the stock shift knob fly across the garage.

In any event, I am using the stock shifter boot along with the stock knob and I think it looks excellent. I still need to get the shift coupler adjusted to get it just right, but so far this looks like an excellent piece of work.
