I've seen two other Pumas were the gear knob hs started to crack and fall apart. Now my Puma is developing the first signs of it.
I know the gear knob is fused to the whole gear lever shaft plastic casing. Has anyone else experienced this and if so what was the fix? 110 2.4TDCi 110 300Tdi ![]() LROCV ::: AULRO.com |

Could be due to heat over there perhaps. Could be wrong though.

G'day grockle - In fact I have been falling apart and had a few health issues. Been a long time between posts. Anyway looks like I've source a replacement. I did look at the one kmac posted but I'm not fussed on the stitcking. 110 2.4TDCi 110 300Tdi ![]() LROCV ::: AULRO.com |

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the gearknobs are a gear short? As advertised:- "Developed for LT77 and R380 gear shift patterns " Both of which are 5 speed? ***EDIT UPDATE*** Croytec do sell them apparently but not shown on their website.

Was it the colour of the stitching you didn't like or the actual stitching itself ? - As we can stitch in any colour including black - Thanks for looking and glad you are now sorted ![]() |

There's something disturbingly phallic about the Puma gear lever...

Just the stitching itself. They look good and I'm sure they are but I just don't like that style. 110 2.4TDCi 110 300Tdi ![]() LROCV ::: AULRO.com |
