Spree, you are correct. Our Shift levers are rectangular in cross section. They will not work with aftermarket knobs.
I am replacing my shift lever with one that has a circular cross section. This will require me to change my shift knobs.
Z - I am no expert by any means. I too have a rather worn shift boot. In fact, mine is worn through completely (and was when I bought it). I looked into replacing the boot with one from Wheelskins. They sent me the directions on replacing it. It did sound like a PITA. You have to stretch the leather up and around the knob, pry off the shift pattern cap, then tuck it ever so neatly back under the cap to capture it. I could not see any way that I could do this without creasing the leather unless I took many days and a long process of wetting and drying the leather. The net result is that I have since decided to replace the lever since the Porsche unit has its own issues.
Hope this helps...
